Speaker A
her name was also Anya, a blonde with beautiful eyes, slim. And she dumped me. She dumped me when she was 14, and I was 15, or she was 15, I was 16, I don't remember. But the point is, I was
Speaker A
very upset. Upset. And every six months, well, constantly every six months, I would have two-week bouts of Ankomania.
Speaker A
I would start calling her, we would start talking. I would go to her place, drink tea, talk. She treated me like a good friend, even though she knew I didn't want to be her friend at all.
Speaker A
And this led to tragic consequences. So, every night I come over, tell her something, and she always has new excuses about why she can't date me.
Speaker A
Well, at first it was because I'm a skinhead. I'm a skinhead, and she's a rapper. So I beat up all her friends.
Speaker A
So what can I do? I told her that I left the skinhead movement. That's it, I'm not a skinhead anymore. I just have these kinds of things left. I don't have any other things. What should I wear? But in reality, I've been just a
Speaker A
regular, everyday guy for a long time now. I don't do anything like that. So, I'm even a little interested in, uh, maybe listening to rap. I'm saying, "You have Anya, maybe some rap to listen to," that I would also become a rapper,
Speaker A
because rappers are very fashionable. Well, Anya believed it, or did it, you see, she believed it. She brought me a whole bag of rap cassettes. She gave them to me, I brought them home, turned on one. These monkey sounds, I listened
Speaker A
to them for about a minute and a half, turned them off. I thought, okay, that's enough. Well, of course, I called in the evening and said: "Anya, I'll probably be a rapper myself now." Well, is this the kind of music you
Speaker A
like best? Well, she named some band. I said: "Well, I didn't really like that band. I liked the other one on the green cassette." Yeah, yeah, on the green cassette. They have great names for some monkey bands. It seems like
Speaker A
we've almost become friends. After all, the obstacle to love has been removed. I think, well, now everything will be fine. And then somewhere she caught me going with my friends, along with four skinheads, and everyone was completely out of the blue. And we don't look like
Speaker A
rappers at all. [ __ ], everything fell through again. I got upset, uh, and out of frustration, I started hitting on all the girls in the group. Well, one of them was so creepy you could only pinch her ass. She didn't even have
Speaker A
boobs. Olga, everyone knew Olga was a virgin. She told everyone I was a virgin, but she drank beer. Well, she drank beer, smoked, and her teeth were already yellow at 17. Well, screw her.
Speaker A
A virgin is a virgin. And then there was Zhenya. Zhenya also led an unhealthy lifestyle, but she was prettier. I grabbed her by all the places, but I couldn't date her because her lifestyle was too unhealthy for anything to happen to her and she
Speaker A
powdered herself really badly. But I kind of put my hand between her legs, and I would routinely put it in some classes where it was allowed. There was also a girl named Lena. Lena was such a cute girl, about as cute as village
Speaker A
milkmaids. Such big breasts, a silly face, oh, white hair, big eyes. And she loved wearing skirts. So, I remember sitting with her in some useless class in the back row. I'm sitting next to her. My friends are still sitting in
Speaker A
the other back rows, watching what I'm going to do. I already put my hand on her leg, stroked and stroked, stuck my hand under her skirt, and that's it, her panties are already there. And I start rocking on my chair. So, chik, I
Speaker A
rocked. And, uh, I'm flashing my friend. Guys, take a look. These guys are sitting there, looking and looking.
Speaker A
Well, Lenka doesn't notice, doesn't see that there's already a demonstration of party symbols going on there. So, once I lift my skirt, there are panties, legs spread, and, stupid, stupid, these guys laugh. Okay, okay. I said, "Lena, you know, I was just kidding,
Speaker A
everything will be fine now." She just sat there, relaxed, her guard down. I rocked back in my chair again.
Speaker A
Everything was visible, he ripped off her skirt, she was swaying. So she started complaining to the teacher for some reason that Maxim was putting his hands down my pants. Well, naturally, they moved her away from me. They moved
Speaker A
her. She said, "Lena, go sit in the first desk with the girl over there.
Speaker A
Maybe she won't put her hands down your pants." That's it. I mean, my amorality was heightened, of course, but it was all from unrequited love, nothing more.
Speaker A
Having decided that robbing gooks for small things was ineffective, and beating up rappers for no reason was stupid, we decided to combine business with pleasure and start robbing rappers. How do we do that? Well, we need to
Speaker A
find a group of rappers and take their valuables. The first thing that caught my eye were the snowboards they were carrying. Snowboards were expensive, pretty expensive back then. So what were we supposed to do? Stas, Yura, and I decided to set up an ambush. There's
Speaker A
this place on the corner near the gas station. If people are walking from this festival to the bus stop or going to the Molodezhnoye metro station, there's this dark corner there, practically no people, and it's easy to pull off some shady dealings. So, we're
Speaker A
standing there—we're cunning people, we think everything through, we don't want to get caught. We arrived there on Saturday and crossed to the other side of Yartsevskaya Street. There was some kind of hole in the ground, like a trench. We hid our spare gear there,
Speaker A
and we dressed ourselves completely, completely in camouflage clothes, completely unthinkable. I found some pipes there, Stas put them on, Yura put on some sweatpants. Not even the drunk ones, who knows what kind. Well, basically, everyone's disguised. So what's our plan? We'll beat up some
Speaker A
rapper, run across the road, hide in this trench, change completely, and then calmly leave. And no one will be able to recognize us or suspect us, because we're already in different clothes. That's it, the plan is cunning. We're standing there. Hey, it's
Speaker A
Yurik's turn to beat him up. It's Yurik's turn to beat him up. Mm. Some rapper walks by with a snowboard. But the thing is, we agreed that we'll only beat him up if he's walking by without a girl, that is, alone, and only if
Speaker A
he's a rapper. So if it's just some guy walking by, we don't touch him, because we're fighting against people who like listening to black music. So here he comes, wearing some really baggy pants, some kind of jacket that's too big, a
Speaker A
snowboard, goggles on his head, a green hat. So, he comes up to me, I say something to him, uh, you can't tell me the time. So, Yura just hits him in the face, huh? So we start kicking him. He
Speaker A
says, "Guys, guys, what did I do to you? Come on, snowboard, [ __ ], and you'll survive." And instead of throwing the snowboard off, we kick this [ __ ], he fell on him and somehow, feet, feet,
Speaker A
feet on the ground, in short, he slid down this hill, fell right onto the road, there are cars driving by, it's already burning. So, we kick him in the face, but he doesn't let go of the snowboard, he doesn't let go and
Speaker A
doesn't want to part with it. Well, in the end, we ripped off his snowboarding goggles and hat and ran away. We changed our clothes. Okay, screw it, today's action didn't work out, but it has to be done. It just has to be done.
Speaker A
It's interesting how it all happens, because there must be some profit from all these events. The next weekend we're standing there again, standing there, waiting for some lone rapper to come along. But everyone's either just two of them, or with girls, or not
Speaker A
rappers. We don't bother them. That's it, we just stood there in the cold for an hour and a half. A week later we came back, and we're standing there again, frozen like dogs. We went to
Speaker A
pizza each and a small, uh, cup of tea. Uh, we went out, we're drinking, eating , and watching. A police van pulls up.
Speaker A
A squad jumps out, right there where we were just standing. They're running with machine guns, running right through the snowdrifts. Once, twice, twice. They looked at something, sniffed, and came back upset. I say, " [ __ ], it's after us." Well, yeah, it
Speaker A
looks like it's after us. We laughed at how stupid the cops were. They didn't catch us. The cops left. You stood in the same spot again, waited for some rapper. Fifteen minutes later, they punched him in the face, took his
Speaker A
snowboard, and ran away. Then we come back a week later, but we thought it would be a bad idea to rob in the same place, because they might burn it down, and then they'd realize we robbed last week too. That's it, we go behind the
Speaker A
gas station. There's also a rather narrow passage there, dark, no streetlight. We stand there, waiting for half an hour, waiting an hour, waiting. And they're [ __ ] annoying.
Speaker A
They're coming, sometimes with girls, sometimes not rappers, sometimes in a crowd. How can they rob? Well, I never.
Speaker A
And we're young, we're 16 years old. And then, that's it, we'll come to an agreement. [ __ ] it, [ __ ] it. Everything goes. I ask what time it is. Stas starts hitting. That's it. He found some metal object and clenched it in
Speaker A
his fist to make the blow stronger. Everything's going on. He's clearly a rapper. That's it. Well, he's clearly a rapper. Here, you have to hit him alone and with a snowboard, which is important. That's it, he's already passed me. I see Stas is already
Speaker A
raising his fist. I'm like, "Hey, kid, you can't tell the time." And I'm like, "Well, first of all, I'm not a kid, I don't have a watch." I'm thinking, " [ __ ], girl." Okay, Stas heard the voice
Speaker A
too, whoops, he stopped the hand. Okay, she's gone. Well, literally a minute goes by, but the guy is definitely already growing a beard, he's a total rapper, that is, he's already an adult, which means he can definitely hit. And
Speaker A
the kids, we weren't planning on hitting the kids either. I mean, we weren't hitting anyone our age, 16 years old, just kids. Hey, we're looking, like, a 25-year-old guy with a beard, a rapper, that's it, you [ __ ], it's time to get out of here.
Speaker A
He walks by and I say to him, "Hey, kid , what time is it?" He's like, "What did you say?" He says, "Bam, I'll [ __ ] you." He falls on me and I start punching him in the nose. I grab him
Speaker A
with one hand, hold him under the armpit, and punch him in the face with the other. Yura kicks him in the stomach from the side, from the side.
Speaker A
Stas immediately tore the snowboard off . This guy yells, "What the hell is going on? What's going on?" I throw him the snowboard, [ __ ], throw the snowboard. But he dropped it right away and fell on his knee. That's it. Well,
Speaker A
we didn't finish him off and ran away. We ran about 50 meters behind him. Stop . I'm thinking, [ __ ], where did the cops come from? There's no one here.
Speaker A
And the second shout: "Stop." I'm thinking, what the hell? Stop. Stop. I see, this [ __ ] guy has already gotten to his feet and is running after us. Stas is in front. Stas is flying with his snowboard. I am behind him,
Speaker A
and Yurik is bringing up the rear, who for some reason is yelling at us: "Stop !" I say: "Yurik, [ __ ] hurry up, why are you slowing down? We need to get out of here." That's it, we're running,
Speaker A
we're running. This guy just stops, stops. But we've run under the bridge. We have to, we have to leave this place , because it's relatively crowded after all. We found a clever escape route through Filevsky Forest Park and to the
Speaker A
Molodezhnoye metro station. Everything is fine. We've already crossed under the Krylatsky Bridge. This whole thing is rushing after us. I clearly took Stas's gear. Stas, Stas in front, then Yurik, then I run and push Yurik in the ass with my snowboard, because he's
Speaker A
running slowly and trying hard to stop. He says, "Let's stop, why are we running away like cowards?" I say, "You idiot, we took the snowboard, what else do you want? What cowards?" He says, " No, well, we need to stop, we need to
Speaker A
sort this out." Say, run ahead, you idiot. What sort this out? We've already reached this Ferevsky forest park, even walked 50 meters across the field, there's knee-deep snow. That's it, Yuri Yurik has stood up, no amount of pushing him in the ass with the
Speaker A
snowboard is helping. He refuses to run , damn it. I say, "What are you talking about? Well, let's wait for him, let's sort this out with him. Come on." That's it, this bearded rapper is coming. I see him approaching with some
Speaker A
kind of metal thing in his hand. I already got my knife out. He says, " What is this? Did you bring it for me or something?" He says, "No, just in case, guys, give me the snowboard." What the [ __ ] did he give it to me for?
Speaker A
My dad gave it to me. So what? Give me my dad’s gift.” I say, “So what, do you have any money?” He says, “ I’ll pay 5,000 there, I’ll give you 5,000.” He says, “Okay, I don’t have any with me, I’m going home,
Speaker A
guys. Let’s wait here, I’m going home.” Well, I don’t know, we weren’t 12, 16, to understand that we shouldn’t agree to this. Okay. No, that won’t do. So what do you have with you? A cell phone. Well, cell
Speaker A
phones were a rarity back then. I say, “Okay, give me the phone.” "Let me exchange my phone for a snowboard." I say, "Okay, screw it, let's exchange my phone for a snowboard." That's it, I give him the snowboard, he gives me the
Speaker A
phone. Thanks, guys, thanks. I say, " Yeah, okay, you're welcome." He leaves. We walk. I tell Yuriy what a fat idiot he is, he can't run properly. But on the other hand, he put the phone in his pocket and that's it, he got to any
Speaker A
scrap yard and sold it. A phone is a convenient thing. We walk. Happy. Then I see some police cars parked there. I say, "Quiet, quiet, quiet. Some cops.
Speaker A
Cops sleeping in their cars. Something fishy." We passed by and rejoiced again . And how cool we were to rob a rapper.
Speaker A
That's it, the next day, ah, we reached the metro, reached Molodezhnye metro station. There I say: "Nuh, let's try it, the phone works." Well, let's check . "Is he calling? No. Gosh. Well, let's see. I called my home right away. There
Speaker A
my sister picked up the phone for some reason. Hello, hello. I hung up, thinking, no, if I say anything, they can find me out. The [ __ ] already called. Well, anyway, the next day Yura went to sell this cell phone and sold
Speaker A
it and we bought it from him for 150 rubles. He comes to my house, solemnly hands over fifty. Here, Max, take our first jackpot. Yura, [ __ ], why 50 rubles? Well, I sold it for 150, 50 to
Speaker A
you. How could you sell it for 150? Well, they said no one would take more, it doesn't have a SIM card, you can't change the number. I say:" [ __ ], you fat ass. I should have run. A snowboard
Speaker A
costs at least 5,000 at a scrap yard. So there you have it. Okay, fine, what's the difference, it's better to feel blue in your hands. I think, well, what an idiot. Okay. And that same day I bought Agatha Christie's Opium
Speaker A
cassette with those 50 rubles. Then I listened to it for a long, long time.
Speaker A
Listened. Semyonovskaya. We walked around all day, drove somewhere, climbed, did some things. I was just hungry as dogs. And I have no money at all. I say: "Well, I guess I should go home, get something to eat somewhere."
Speaker A
Well, yeah, what can I do? Now I could use some bread and milk. Yeah, yeah, white bread and milk would be nice.
Speaker A
It's cold outside, the snow has already fallen. And then I look, a Chinese guy is walking by. He has a transparent bag in his hand, in which there is bread and a liter of milk. I think, so interesting, interesting, interesting.
Speaker A
We caught up with him. Enough for the Chinese guy I [ __ ] him with my right.
Speaker A
He fell, bang, flew over a snowdrift, and ran away. There. Well, there's a bag of bread, milk, a loaf of bread on the ground, a loaf of white bread, they picked it up, it was so fresh. I say, "
Speaker A
Well, look, they took our lunch." And we ran off somewhere into the courtyards. We ran off, sat, and ate. I say, "Well, you see, basically, the food walks the streets on its own, just go grab it." M.
