Introduction: Apartment

Welcome to the personal resident of Dmitri Sokolov. Despite accumulating massive sums of wealth via running an influential black marketing organization called Bratva Oktyabrya, Dmitri lives in what can only be defined as lower-class housing, in an apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. Located in the subsection of Brighton Beach - an area famous for having the highest population of Slavic immigrants in the world - Dmitri’s apartment sits among a million others, in a community of common people who are, culturally at least, just like him.

There’s something special about Dmitri’s apartment, however, and it’s not something you can see. It was a location rented by Anton Dragunov, the founder of Oktyabrya’s progeny (and progenitor, but that’s a totally different story) Red October, and given freely to Dmitri’s father to use as a home base when he got out of Ukranian prison. Of course, it’s been re-decorated slightly over the years, but the sentiment remains the same: family, history, and tradition.

Dmitri does not engage in recreational drug use, nor does he own any illegal goods, and his apartment contains no traces of his criminal profession. There are several weapons stashed throughout, but all are legal and protected under the Second Amendment. There are vodka bottles scattered around, but Dmitri is far past the United States’ legal drinking age. In fact, should the police ever find reason to search this apartment, they will find only the impression that Dmitri is a normal (albeit not very tidy) citizen of their country.

Dmitri’s Apartment is part of the larger Soviet Connection metaverse, and all standard rules and regulations, such as those regarding godmoding, apply. Furthermore, this is realistic RP - all supernatural elements and technology beyond that reasonably accessible to one’s character in the current year are banned.

It’s worth noting this is not the epicenter of Oktyabrya’s activity, or even a remote location of it. Unless invited for specific reasons (or trying to assassinate the Pakhan, perhaps?) one would find better roleplay in any of our other rooms, accessed either on IMVU by searching Dmitri's username in the search bar, or on this wiki through the top navigation bar. Regardless, welcome to Dmitri’s Apartment, and if you have any questions not covered in this document, feel free to ask.
