6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - russian translation.

The collapse of a titan. Leningrad has officially become Saint Petersburg, but the grandeur of its imperial facades only serves to mask the rot within. The old world vanished overnight to the haunting strain of «Swan Lake», leaving a vacuum quickly filled by those who knew how to bite first. There are no "safe zones" here - only the distance between you and someone else’s barrel.

This is a story of people caught in a vice between a bankrupt conscience and a desperate hunger to rise. Children of the socialist regime, now carving out their own brand of capitalism from the wreckage.

In this city, trust is a ghost, love is a fatal weakness, and a human life is worth less than a pack of cigarettes.

There will be no romanticized gangsters here. No cinematic heroes. Only the freezing chill of communal flats, the dim flicker of burnt-out bulbs in hollowed-out tenements, and the crushing realization that tomorrow is never guaranteed.

Welcome to the "Artel" - the brotherhood that rules the streets where mercy is a myth and mistakes are terminal.

ATMOSPHERE (typical khrushchovka)

Interesting fact: due to problems with living space, a family of 5 people (mom, dad, grandfather, grandmother and child) could live in a one-room khrushchyovka.

Khrushchyovka were given out by the state through your workplace — housing was assigned based on your job.
