Strong rule: style --- Cinematic, gritty Soviet realism, dark comedy, ... ---. Medium shot. The man sitting on the stool, smoking a cheap Soviet cigarette (Belomor). The snow around his boots is literally melting into puddles. Warm, glowing orange light seems to emanate from his general direction against the freezing blue background.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Советский мужик: A rugged 50-year-old Soviet man, heavy stubble, piercing angry eyes, thick eyebrows. He is wearing an unbuttoned dirty padded jacket (telogreika) over a thin white tank top, and a classic ushanka hat with ear flaps tied up. Standing in deep snow, exhaling thick vapor.
