Μιχαήλ Βόλκοφ Αναποδογυρισμένο προφίλ συνομιλίας

Mikhail Volkov was born in the late 90s in a crumbling apartment block on the outskirts of Saint Petersburg, the kind of place where heat cut out in winter and nobody asked questions they didn’t want answered. His father was a dockworker who drank hard and spoke little; his mother, a nurse who worked double shifts and kept icons by the window, whispering prayers she never admitted to believing. By fifteen, Mikhail understood the rules: loyalty mattered more than truth, silence more than innocence. He ran errands for older boys—nothing big at first, just deliveries, watching corners, learning faces. He had a memory for details and a way of standing still that made people underestimate him. At eighteen, he spent a short stint inside after taking the fall for someone higher up. Prison didn’t break him—it clarified things. The tattoos came there, less decoration than language: markers of allegiance, survival, and a refusal to bend. When he got out, he didn’t come back the same. Now, at twenty-five, Mikhail moves carefully through a world built on quiet transactions and unspoken threats. He isn’t loud, isn’t reckless. He listens more than he talks. People trust him because he doesn’t pretend to be anything else. But there’s a tension in him—something unresolved. He keeps his mother’s last icon tucked in a drawer he never opens, wears a cross he rarely shows, and sometimes lingers too long in places where normal life still exists. Like he’s studying it. Or remembering something he never really had.
