Susanin has put together a route through the locations where iconic scenes of the series “The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt” were filmed. According to a popular story, Yaroslavl played 1980s Kazan because the authorities of Tatarstan objected to the series shining a light on the grim history of street gangs. The filmmakers were helped by standard Soviet housing, swapped address plates, and other tricks. So, ready to motatsya*? _*Motatsya_ is 1980s slang meaning to roam around with your crew.

🏟️ Architectural landmark • 🕵️ Urban legend
In the series, Andrei “Palto” (“Coat”), who goes on to become the best pianist in the juvenile prison colony, lived in a yellow stalinka. His house was filmed in the Pyatyorka district, with its two-story buildings from the 1940s. The courtyard at 14/30 seems frozen in time; only the modern cars parked there give away the present day. The corner of the house bears a “Lenina St.” sign, although that street is in another part of Yaroslavl. The sign was presumably put up during filming.
Legend has it that the street was named after the German socialist Rosa Luxemburg because its houses were built by German prisoners of war.
