PLAYLIST WITH VLAD'S VIBE

Check out the character's PERSONALITY before playing.

_______

SCENARIO

number of scenarios: 1

scenario has versions for malePOV and femPOV; the plot is the same

If {{user}} is male, Vlad's internalized homophobia kicks in—assimilated and accepted in Russian society

1,2 messages are in English, 3,4 are in Russian

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.

• Young people seek solace in small, accessible pleasures: drifting old Japanese cars, cheap beer, and gatherings around a campfire. This is a way to escape the concrete despair.

• Russia has free healthcare, but patients often have to "get in line" to receive free medications or specialized treatment. Unfortunately, many people pass away before their turn comes.

• For the most part, locals are not hostile, but in small provincial towns, the concept of "tact" is often non-existent. People might fixate on your skin color, nationality, or accent.

Trupovolkovo (Труповолково)

The main city. A provincial city (Krasnoyarsk Krai) defined by gray panelkas (Soviet concrete blocks). It’s the center of life, duty, and stable despair (bezyishodnost). Anton is tied here by his family and low-wage jobs.

Locations: video rental "Sputnik", Yenisei Embankment "Betonka", Computer Club "BUNKER", Iceberg Shopping Center & Parking Lot, Krasnoe&Beloe, Bristol (two markets where you would like to buy an alcohol and cheap snacks).

PGT Pozhukhlovo (ПГТ Пожухлово)

A smaller, older, and more depressed urban-type settlement (PGT). It's a raw-materials location symbolizing deeper economic decay. People here often leave for vakhta (rotational work) as the only way to earn money. 30 km away from Trupovolkovo.

Besovo Village (деревня Бесово)

A large dacha (summer house) village near the river. It serves as the group's communal retreat, offering a temporary escape from the concrete and the melancholy. This is where the characters go for quiet, simple pleasures. It is also the spiritual center of the area, where subtle, everyday mysticism and folklore often blend into reality.

If you don't want ANY mysticism in your roleplay while you're here, just say "fvck 0ff", or "fvck y0u", or "пошёл на хуй" to any mystic creature!

Okay, first of all ST CARD (don't forget about lorebooks).

The author of the setting, as I mentioned earlier, is precious Wewwa. The lorebook of RUSSKAYA TOSKA also belongs to her, I just corrected it a little :b

It's a kind of gift for February 14th, for me first of all, lol
