Nikita Lytkin’s former friend, Sergey Sokolsky, answered questions regarding Nikita (Pt. 1)
1. What was Nikita like when I knew him? Are there any particular traits about him that stood out?
— Nikita and I studied from 1st to 3rd grade at school No. 19 in Irkutsk. In general, he was a rather unremarkable person, a bit of a jerk in his own way, and played with himself during breaks. When we normal boys were playing and running in the field, he just walked around throwing himself from wall to wall. Well, he was a little weird, we thought he was crazy. Well, there were no characteristic features, just that he was tight-lipped, incomprehensible, dubious.
2. Are there any pleasant memories of the time when I communicated with him and knew him?
— Yes, of course there are. In essence, Nikita is a good and reliable friend. He is very interesting and peculiar. Yes, there are a lot of interesting moments; how we walked, how we drank beer for the first time in a race. But this was a little later, when I moved to another city. He and I constantly called each other when I moved. Yes, there are many interesting moments, and our walks, as we hung out, we walked constantly, in search of the unknown. I always liked being at his house, it was cool and fun. His mother always bought him a bunch of different toys, books, Sektor Gaza cassettes.
3. Were there people who bullied Nikita? How often did they bully him?
— Nikita was bullied all the time. Anyway, when he was with me, I kind of defended, stood up for him, then there were no such moments, because they knew me, I was a "big shot" in class and no one touched me, well, no one in my company touched Nikita and didn’t offend him.
4. Do you know why he was bullied?
— I don’t know, but I probably guess. Because he wasn’t like everyone else. He was quite quiet and peaceful. He never fought back, well, he was cowardly and weak.
5. Did he love his mother?
— I think, up to a certain point, yes, he did. But then he probably hated her. There were moments when it slipped through for him after we started growing up, after I moved to another city, but we still continued to communicate, it was 2006-2007-2008. He said he was tired of his mother, her overprotection, etc. It was impossible to understand exactly what was in his head. Marina somehow tried to keep him in check anyway, despite the fact that she spoiled him, bought something.
6. Am I acquainted with Artyom?
— Yes, I know Artyom. We met at Nikita’s house. They called on the phone, Nikita said you’ll meet my new buddy right now. He came to the apartment. Well, at first glance, such a belligerent guy came in, all cheerful. He seemed to be a normal, adequate person by communication.
7. How did Nikita behave with Artyom?
— They had a fairly close relationship, trusting. Well, I was no longer there, my interests with Nikita had already begun to diverge a little, and of course Artyom became much closer than I was.
8. How easy was it for Nikita to make new friends?
— Extremely difficult. All because Nikitos was not like everyone else, clamped down, unsure of himself. He was afraid that people would hurt and disgust him.
9. Do you think Artyom noticed that Nikita was naive, vulnerable and used it to his advantage?
— I think, of course, he noticed it, paid attention. In general, I think that after all, under the influence of Artyom, Nikita did a complete shit and he would never have done it on his own. This is such a cowardly and fearful person, he would not do this. He is a guided person, it was easy enough to control him, to tell him what to do. I never used it, I just considered him my friend.
10. What was my reaction when I heard about the murders?
— I was stunned to be honest. I didn’t believe it, how such weak-minded people could do such crap. I don’t understand how this could’ve happened at all, this is not that person Nikita who went for it. As far as I know, he even tried to justify Artyom somewhere. Nikita just couldn’t do this shit without some outside intervention.
