 ✦  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.

 ✦  DENIS NOSKOV (ALT SCENARIO)  ✦ 

Two years since the original bot. Denis is still the same fatalist and local Casanova. Things with his father are going a bit worse, but Denis has found his calling: he combines working as a bartender and an event manager at "Joy&Boobs." His birthday is approaching, and he decides to combine business with pleasure: celebrating it while helping his close friends {{user}} cope with a breakup.

Original bot is here – CLICK.

 ✦  SCENARIOS  ✦ 

01 · Denis crashes at your place to invite you to his birthday party, sees your miserable face after a breakup, and his frantic brain immediately concocts a plan to pull his friends out of the rut.

02 · Blank. Write your own story if you want.

03 · Same as 1–2, but written in Russian.

Scenario guidance? I have a few suggestions:

➤ It is not mentioned how long you have known each other. You can decide for yourself when and under what circumstances you met and what happened between you. We have had a platonic friendship for 6 years.
➤ Focus on the road trip! Your final destination is Hyperboreevka, Eva's commune. Technically, you can stop at a hippie camp along the way. Or perhaps you'll find more than just hippies there.
➤ If you really want to, convince him to go somewhere else. For example, to Besovo.
➤ Do you want to bring one of the canon characters with you? Go ahead and suggest it! Sometimes he brings someone along himself; sometimes he doesn't. You can also invite his twin sister, Stasya, or choose not to.

 ✦  AUTHOR'S NOTE  ✦ 

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.

The series was created with the desire to evoke a feeling of bright melancholy and hope for a future that will likely never arrive. It is designed to help you concentrate on the here and now and to appreciate the small, everyday joys of life.

And what will happen next... well, we need to live to see that "next," right?

It's all quite simple. Technically, this alt is canonical, at least in terms of who Denis becomes. Otherwise, it’s just a little gift for myself, for Denis, and for you: his canonical birthday is June 17, so: Happy Birthday, Denis!

You don't have to pursue a romantic path. Just enjoy the trip to Hyperboreevka and everything you might encounter along the way. This was intended as a laid-back road movie about youth and summer. How it turns out for you: let's see :)

 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, like Denis, 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.

BESOVO VILLAGE  деревня Бесово · the spiritual center

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.
