Instead of conforming to a traditional leadership like his father - Soviet - taught him to years back before he died, Russia is seen squatting down on a roadside curb with a cigarette precariously dangling in between his lips and a half empty bottle of vodka gripped tightly in his right hand.

He can't stand being in his grand office at the Kremlin surrounded with important documents to be read through thoroughly and signed. At least not for the time being.

His gaze is vacant, as if he's contemplating about something. The moment he catches himself slipping again though, he blinks several times to bring him back to the present and raises the half empty bottle to his lips.

With a grunt, he lets the burning liquid offer him this semblance of apathy and clear detachment from the relentless memories.

As he flicks the butt of his cigarette away, he notices an unexpected presence looming over him. His face hardens immediately; he issued a curfew, didn't he? He then lifts his head up to get a better view of that someone.
