00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.700
This is Celestia and Denis.

00:00:01.700 --> 00:00:04.760
Celestia is lord of
magic pony world,

00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:08.160
Denis - security.
But, more important, he's a Brony.

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.320
That means "bro" and "pony".

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:13.800
It's some weird
adult men

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.300
who plays
with toys, isn't?

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.740
Totally not! It's normal
adult men

00:00:17.740 --> 00:00:20.680
who like a cartoon series
for little girls.

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:24.040
This spark appears,
when I understood

00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:26.800
that all of you
are my friends!

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.640
Their united not only by
love to characters,

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.120
also by idea to understanding and
good relationship to others,

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:34.660
which promotes
this cartoon.

00:00:34.660 --> 00:00:36.680
Therefore, Brony
isn't just a fan club:

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:39.220
subculture,
hippies of the new century.

00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:41.420
Classic subcultures, as we says -

00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:46.460
gothics, emo, punks,
hippies, skinheads, etc -

00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:50.620
they are at this moment
on the marginal position,

00:00:50.620 --> 00:00:53.620
very few people
mentioned they.

00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:57.140
Researchers from Higher School of Economics
at three years interviewed the participants

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:00.880
of modern youth associations
and followed their lives.

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.500
It's a
introduction picture.

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.060
We has about
fifty people...

00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:06.320
Yeah, some time,
remember?

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:09.520
Dagestan street workout and parkour,
tatar rap...

00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:12.740
Western course,
even without russian names,

00:01:12.740 --> 00:01:16.960
naturally joined
in the patriotic course.

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:18.420
I am a free bird,

00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:19.960
I do not chase fashion

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:21.540
and I don't drive in the boxes,

00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:22.980
walk from the Sloboda to center,

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.600
on the banks of the Kazanka...

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:28.580
In the late 80's and 90's
western was copied as is

00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:30.300
and contrasted to
Soviet lifestyle.

00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:32.080
After almost
twenty years,

00:01:32.080 --> 00:01:35.160
subcultures and protests are
no longer synonymous.

00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:37.620
Now young people are
friends not against someone,

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:40.640
just with each other,
united by interests.

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.600
Three of the most mass
movements of modern Russia:

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:46.740
gamers - they have the
overall lead in the researched cities;

00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:48.760
bikers - in the
second position;

00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.080
bronze, surprise, at the
fans of board games.

00:01:52.080 --> 00:01:54.440
Black cloak to the floor - 
you are probably Goth.

00:01:54.440 --> 00:01:58.100
Add a contrasting pink and
bangs in half face - that emo.

00:01:58.100 --> 00:02:00.620
Leather jakets - rockers,
iroquois - punk.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:01.860
So it
was before!

00:02:01.860 --> 00:02:05.600
Today, the issue of identification of supporters
in the crowd is no longer necessary:

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:08.120
now they are easier to find
in the social networks.

00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.560
Do, please,
that such a position...

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.400
here's a little bit,
well, that it...

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.680
Yuri - fan of the anime,
japanese comics and cartoons.

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.940
In casual, an assistant
professor of philosophy.

00:02:18.940 --> 00:02:22.460
But in university employee
his at the job,

00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:24.540
on the Caucasus
that's safely.

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:27.680
But he's more like a white jacked
and a red wig

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.160
of Butler Useramiya,

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:31.520
character of the novell
"When the Seagulls Cry".

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.880
In our country can be still a stereotypes
to the geek culture

00:02:35.880 --> 00:02:38.520
for most people it's a unexpected,
specialy in the provinces.

00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.360
we just try
to promote

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:47.140
cosplay and
geek culture...

00:02:47.140 --> 00:02:50.340
Nikita - admin of the
one of the largest Brony clubs.

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:51.940
Nastya - his team mate.

00:02:51.940 --> 00:02:54.440
In their public page on VK
about forty thousand subscribers,

00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:56.120
more than half - 
men.

00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:02.800
They can see themselves in the characters
and begin to match them

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.100
and they also
get a lot of friends.

00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:09.420
By changing the shape and nature,
subcultures didn't change the main goal -

00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:10.920
unite people.

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:14.360
Sergey Sirkin, Nikolay Bulkin, Nikol Morozova,
Maxim Konovalov, Viktor Babenko.

00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:19.080
