Slava opened the door to find Irina standing there, her face as cold as the Smolensk winter.

"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." Central Russia's Vampires (2021) subtitles

Their bickering was interrupted by a sharp, rhythmic knocking—the kind of knock that sounded like a legal summons. Slava froze. It was the Keepers. We’re going hunting

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.

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.
