As Irina left, the cozy, blood-scented apartment felt suddenly very small. Slava looked out the window at the gray streets. He didn't want a war. He just wanted to live his eternal life in peace, grumbling about the price of gas and the quality of modern bread.

The following is a story inspired by the world of the 2021 Russian series Вампиры средней полосы (Vampires of Central Russia), centering on the delicate balance between ancient bloodsuckers and the modern bureaucracy of a sleepy provincial city.

In the city of Smolensk, the snow doesn't just fall; it gossips. It clings to the crumbling brick of Khrushchev-era apartments, whispering secrets about who is truly human and who has simply been around long enough to stop aging.

"Jean! If you use my surgical silk to mend your designer trousers one more time, I’ll bury you in the vegetable patch!" Slava bellowed.

"Jean," Slava said, his voice dropping the grandfatherly act to reveal the ancient predator beneath. "Get the boy. We’re going hunting. And tell him if he records this for his followers, I’ll personally break his phone."

For centuries, a secret pact had existed: the vampires could live among humans as long as they followed the "Covenant"—no killing, no turning without permission, and absolutely no drawing attention. In exchange, the human Keepers, led by the stern Irina Vitalevna, kept the police from asking why Grandpa Slava’s birth certificate predated the Romanovs.

In Central Russia, being a vampire isn't about capes or castles. It’s about family, survival, and making sure the neighbors don't notice you’ve been thirty-five for the last century. And in Smolensk, family always comes first—even if they’re already dead.

"We have a problem, Svyatoslav," she said, stepping inside without an invitation. "A body was found near the old fortress. Completely drained. And not by a mosquito."
