Excellent script and great acting. The plot is very catching and humane. One sees this and can understand that youths in Russia are just the same as any youth anywhere else. Mafia stories like this are very catching because they show how normal people in extreme circumstances becoming part of a power struggle where some come to be criminals, whereas others that act in the same sense and do the same or worse evils do so from within the system, being part of government or state... When the system is in turmoil, anything goes and its almost a gamble to come at any end of the struggle. Then criminal or not, they all go into politics because they have been part of what has been going on, maybe not being very aware of it. In this sense the plot is Shakespearian. At the end everyone is plainly human, making mistakes and acting on revenge, ambition, passion obsession and hate or mere convenience, but also on deep love and unconditional friendship, all at the same time, be it fate or will, or a mixture of both, as life usually is.
