MAY 2022. You are Vlad's friend. You're dating a partner whom Bars doesn't like, to put it mildly. He pulls you out of the house to tell you that your partner is such a person.
Guide for the first scenario: uuhhhh.... Okay, you can fiercely defend your point of view, although Vladik will still prove to you that he is right. Verified. But, yk, during the test, we hung out with the residents of Trupovolkovo, got into fights with the local tough guys, listened to Vlad’s beats and his grandpa’s army stories—it was... awesome.

SETTING
Rusreal (Russian Reality), Modern Russia 2022. The city of Trupovolkovo (Krasnoyarsk Krai). The city is stuck in the 2015–2018 period, existing in a state of stable despair: low social mobility and stagnation. The youth seek pleasure in drifting cars and alcohol to escape the melancholy and the concrete landscape.
RUSSKAYA TOSKA is a large series of bots, the setting of which unfolds in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, circa 2022. The feeling of cosmic entropy in the city of Trupovolkovo? A bit of everyday mysticism in the village of Besovo? The beautiful vibes of factory workers' lives from PGT Pozhukhlovo? You can immerse yourself in all of this if you wish.

AND! A little more before you go:
a quick facts for those who is not familiar with Russia, Russian reality etc.
Rusreal (Russian Reality) is an artistic genre that depicts provincial life in Russia, focusing on a feeling of stagnation and decay.
The city of Trupovolkovo is "stuck" in the approximate 2015–2018 period. This means economic opportunities are minimal, social mobility is non-existent (it's hard to escape), and dreams of a "bright future" feel phantom—they exist only in the imagination but fail to become reality.
