subculture of
Russia in the
2000s000s.
When did they appear
SUBCULTURE APPEARED IN THE
TWENTIETH CENTURY AND
BECAME EXTREMELY COMMON
AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE
SOVIET UNION
SUBCULTURE THEN WAS NOT YET
CLEARLY FORMED AND APPLIED,

The emergence of
Gopnikov IN RUSSIA
• After the collapse of the USSR, the movement of the gopnik
subculture began. Heyday of steel 1990s.
• Gopniks were engaged in petty theft, extortion of money,
robberies and beatings of random passers-by, especially at
night.
• "Gopniks" do not call themselves "gopniks" and usually
describe themselves by self-names "normal boys"

Gopnik style in
russia
• Gopnik's favorite was a black adidas classic suit.
• Gopniks liked to wear classic adidas sneakers.
• An advanced gopnik at that time should have had an Adidas
suit

FOR PROFIT, BUT FOR SELF
VALIDATION. UNSTABLE
EMOTIONAL STATE AMONG
GOPNIKS FREQUENTLY
LEADS TO CONFLICTS
WITHIN THEIR SAME
GROUP. THE MAIN THING
FOR GOPs IS THE
IMAGINARY RESPECT
WHICH, ACCORDING TO
THEIR JUDGMENT, CAN BE
ACHIEVE BY
DEMONSTRATING YOUR
PHYSICAL SUPERIORITY
OVER OTHER PEOPLE.

Gopnik behavior
MOST OFTEN THEY ARE ON THE STREET WITHIN THEIR AREA. IN MAJOR CITIES, FIGHTS WERE
FREQUENTLY OCCURRED BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES OF DIFFERENT REGIONS FOR FURTHER
REASONS. GOPs WALK IN GROUPS OF SEVERAL PEOPLE. FAVORITE PLACES ARE POORLY LIGHTED
AREAS WITH STORE OR TABLES. AS ENTERTAINMENT GOPNIKS USE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AND SMOKE
CIGARETTES. A PLASTIC BOTTLE OF CHEAP BEER, A PACKAGING OF SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND A
CIGARETTE BEHIND THE EAR - THE PERMANENT ATTRIBUTES OF A TYPICAL GOPNIK.

Elimination of gopniks
in Russia
• Closer to 2010, there were practically no gopniks left in Russia.
• Some of them went to jail, and some decided to go on the right
path.
• With this, I want to end my presentation about the gopnik
subculture in Russia.
