Petr Karasev

His family

Their mother, Flora Borisovna, loves her sons dearly and tries to create a normal family, despite each of them having a different father. But Flora and Petya's relationship gradually becomes extremely strained due to his criminal activities.

Brothers:

*Yura is the middle brother, a creative and sensitive person, an artist.

• Ruslan is the youngest brother, a schoolboy, who is engaged in trade and tries to earn his own living.

Petr's father, Karas, is a man from the criminal underworld. In the series, his story also involves Petya gradually taking his place in the criminal underworld.

What does he do

In 1995, Pyotr became involved with Mikhalych's (Sergei Mikhailovich Zhigalin) gang. Initially, he carried out assignments and gradually became one of the most important members of the gang—effectively Mikhalych's right-hand man.

Petr is Flora's eldest son. He has two younger brothers, Yura and Ruslan, all three of whom have different fathers. Flora is raising them alone and works as a trolleybus driver.

Character

At first, Pyotr is a rather ambitious guy who wants to get rich quickly and gain respect. He's streetwise and manages to come across as someone you shouldn't anger.

But he has a completely unexpected side: he loves opera and studies vocals. Pyotr dreams of one day performing Herman's aria from "The Queen of Spades." It is precisely this contrast—the young bandit and the man passionate about opera—that is one of the interesting aspects of his character.

As the story unfolds, his criminal life increasingly shapes his character. He becomes more domineering, hot-tempered, and cruel, and his pursuit of money and status begins to take precedence over his relationships with loved ones.
