10!!This film features the following tropes:
11* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: A downplayed, teenage version. When Vika and Lyosha escape Volkov's gang and she invites him in, and then into her room, he is quick to leave, getting this reaction from her. Then again, it has been just their first date.
12* BoyMeetsGirl: The basic premise.
13* DisappearedDad: Lyosha's father is divorced from his mother.
14* EarnYourHappyEnding: Lyosha gets beaten up for it, but he shows Vika that he likes her and they end up together.
15* GangOfBullies: Volkov and his gang are ''[[WhiteGangBangers gopniki]]''.
16* LongingLook: Vika gives a lot of those to Lyosha when she feels compelled to give in to Volkov's advances due to social pressure.
17* NeutralFemale: Downplayed. Vika goes along with Volkov and later stands there while he beats Lyosha and his friend, but she's visibly uncomfortable and avoids eye contact. She breaks up with Volkov the following day and seeks Lyosha out.
18* PairTheSpares: Lyosha and Vika's friends also hook up.
19* StalkingIsLove: Lyosha does a bit of it through the social media to learn who Vika is. That said, it's no more than what most people do these days.
20* WorthyOpponent: When Lyosha does get together with Vika, Volkov and his gang ambush him at night. Despite them being five to one, older and stronger, stealing his moped, Lyosha manages to incapacitate one, doesn't surrender when cornered and doesn't give them away to a patrolling cop, even if the cop asks twice. Volkov, who until this moment fully intended to beat him up, lets him go and gives him his moped back, then backs off for good.
21* WrongGuyFirst: Vika likes Lyosha from the start, but Volkov is aggressively hitting on her and she becomes his girlfriend first. It doesn't last once Lyosha also makes a move.
