Conversation with Gopnik
The word “gopnik” comes from the well-known expression “gop-stop”, which in the language of the thieves' world - fen, means robbery, illegal taking of material assets.
Gopniks are not exactly criminals, as is often believed. They have very subtle tactics. First, they “attack” the victim with words, thereby probing him, instilling fear or confusion, and only then they try to gain benefit for themselves, for example, to take away some valuables: pocket money, a mobile phone, a watch. Better yet, make sure that the person standing in front of them gives them away himself. Although the gopnik may not take anything, it is extremely important for him to feel his superiority and make himself afraid.
In a conversation with a gopnik, you should not appeal to universal morality and quote the laws of the Constitution. Gopniks live by their own laws - the laws of the street and the world of thieves. This is their trump card, that from the very beginning they impose their rules on the victim and force them to play by them on their field. But since we, ordinary people, don’t know their rules, concepts and expressions, the best way to communicate with a gopot is to answer their questions as little as possible and not give specific information about yourself. After all, the more you talk to them, the more opportunities they get to latch onto something.
Let's take a closer look at a variant of the standard scenario for a meeting with a street thug, which a familiar expert in the field of street conflicts shared with us.
1. “Hey, come here!”
Phrases like: “Hey, wait!” or “Come here!” - this is already partly aggression, an invasion of your personal territory, the beginning of a psychological struggle. So they are already testing you, checking what kind of stuff you are made of. The main thing is not to become a coward ahead of time, even if you are clearly inferior in strength, not to rush to conclusions and under no circumstances approach it. The one who initiates the actions must justify them, so he must come forward. This “invitation” is testing your teeth, so it’s better to resist at the beginning. The first impression is the most important, so you can’t ruin it. You can stand or go further where you were going. Confidently and firmly, without lowering your head and eyes, it is advisable not to slouch and straighten your back.
As you yourself understand, answers like “Come here yourself!” are not suitable unless you are a champion in combat sambo. Rude phrases will provoke open conflict. And this is exactly what they expect from you. “Why are you being rude?”, “Why so impudent?” and off we go. Don't give them wood for the fire.
If they say: “Can’t you hear?”, “Are you deaf?”, do not answer these questions, use a zero reaction. This is the next test of whether you are a sucker or a “normal guy”. In response, you freeze stupidly, as if you don’t understand what’s going on, be calm, as if you have an army of healthy heroes behind you.
Your first words:
Something happened? Do we know each other? I do not know you!
With such calmness, the interlocutor, of course, will not be afraid of you, but at least he will already be afraid to some extent. A question will involuntarily arise in his head: “Why are you so calm? Maybe you are a boxer, a bandit, the son of an oligarch, a police officer without a uniform, a local authority, behind whom are 20 thugs even worse than himself? But no matter who you are, you clearly don’t look like a lohopedist who can be cheated.”
Under no circumstances continue the conversation with sharp remarks such as: “I’m not going to talk to you at all,” “What do you care?”, “Who are you for me to answer?” This is already rudeness for them, and that’s what they need. Speak only neutral phrases. As long as you have not given a formal reason for aggression, you are in a completely comfortable position.
2. Welcome handshake - the fox method
It is possible that your “nice conversation” will begin not with a rude attack from a gopnik, but with him coming up and extending his hand to you in a friendly manner. He'll say hello like a boy (reminiscent of the Fox's method in Russian fairy tales and fables). What does he want? It is possible that this is one of the main tricks: after such a gesture of “goodwill” in the future, if you suddenly suddenly want to stop talking to him and leave, he will have the opportunity to be indignant that you stopped communicating with him, which will give him extra points : “I approached you like a boy and shook you with my claws. Was it like that!? Was! And the guys over there saw everything. I shook my hand, and then you started showing off to me and didn’t want to talk!” Therefore, for insurance purposes, it is better not to touch it at all.
Yes, it is very difficult to withstand the gaze and outstretched hand without shaking it, because the stencils of politeness have been hammered into us deeply since childhood. The hand will stretch itself, but hold it. Behind the mask of friendliness there can be a cunning fox. It’s not just that he approached you. So he needs something. Do you remember the folk wisdom that nothing just happens? So this individual’s approach has some kind of goal, and it’s definitely unprofitable for you. You look at him carefully, narrowing your eyes slightly:
Who are you? I do not know you. Do we know each other?
I understand that this is difficult, especially if your opponent is clearly larger than you or there is a crowd behind him. But you have the right to this according to his own concepts: the “right guy” will not shake hands with the first person he meets without first knowing who is standing in front of him. In prison, for example, they don’t shake hands at all. And the rules of the prison for a gopnik are sacred. And you don't have to press the first paw you come across. You can tell him about it just like that. So he will have suspicions that you know the orders and rules of another world, the laws of which he respects.
1) Who are you and where are you from?
2) Do you have 10 rubles?
3) Are you drinking beer, celebrating something?
4) What do you do in life?
Questions can be different, both friendly and offensive. Under no circumstances give an answer right away! Calmly take a closer look and confidently ask: “Are we familiar?”
If the gopnik’s incomprehensible questions continue, then you need to go on the offensive: ask specific counter questions without answering him.
For what purpose are you interested? (universal answer)
Why these questions? Do you need anything specifically?
It is important to understand and remember the main thing - in order to attack you you need a reason. Aggression without a reason is lawlessness even for the street thugs themselves. After all, if they were complete scumbags and wanted to beat you up, they would do it right away. They expect a formal reason from you and try in every possible way to find it, to provoke it. As long as you don't give it, you're safe. Therefore, do not make the slightest concession - do not answer anything specifically. As soon as you answer something, even the most neutral one, but to the essence of the question, you will already fall for the bait. And if after this you want to interrupt the conversation, the opponent has the “moral right” to accuse you of disrespect for himself, to get that very reason to proceed to presenting charges against you. You “supported” the conversation at the beginning, and then refused to develop it. “And this is ugly, they don’t do that.” Therefore, it is better to hold on at the beginning.
Of course, you won’t get a direct answer from him to your counter question: “For what purpose...”. He will twist and try to pin you down. There are many options for further development of the conversation on his part:
1) What, you want to go shopping with the boys?
2) Why so daring?
3) Why are you being rude?
4) Don't you respect me?
5) I don’t understand what the…?
In response to such phrases, do not make excuses! In all cases, you need to stupidly continue to stick to your line. Under no circumstances answer the following: “I respect you, but...”, “I’m not being rude, but...”. Your “but” will be immediately regarded as weakness. No “no”, “no”, and especially “but”.
What a waste to splurge with normal boys?
You didn't answer my question.
And you are mine!
Are you going to run into chaos?
Are you accusing me of something?
Just answer my question. I have the right to INTEREST!
And I’m purely interested in myself!
Attention! It is “INTEREST”, not “ASK”. “Ask” has a double meaning in the Fen language: asking someone for something will immediately be regarded as a hit-and-run. Therefore, it is better not to use this word at all in such a conversation.
Bad example:
I have the right to ask.
What? Ask me? For what? Justify!
That's it, a reason has been found.
“I’m interested for myself” - the standard phrase on duty is the street answer that stuck to the question: “For what purpose are you interested?” As soon as you heard something like this, it means that the enemy has wavered (or he has nothing to say). It seems that he just came up to inquire for himself and nothing personal. Now the main thing is not to go too far.
The purpose of his tackle was, of course, to probe and run into him. But he will never admit this, because hitting without reason is also condemned in his circles. Therefore, before hitting him, he makes every attempt to check who is standing in front of him, and then, based on the information received, he decides what reason to find.
Perhaps the cycle of questions can be repeated again in different variations. Just stick to your position - whoever started the conversation must justify the reason.
Therefore, for the next “What a waste of time to splurge with normal boys?” or “Why are you answering a question with a question?”, you can rightly tell him that whoever came up and started a conversation must explain the reason, otherwise this is not according to concepts and looks like chaos, and the right guys don’t fix it out of the blue! So you ask a question that leads him to a dead end - he cannot answer, but, according to his own rules, he is obliged to do so.
Or you can say directly: “Did you get the snitch?” or “Checking for a sucker’s suit?” And then continue to tell him that there are no mistakes behind you and that in life you are a good guy, and this looks like a hit-and-run! After this, the gopnik will probably have the idea that you are not some kind of “sucker”, “reindeer herder” or an abstruse “spectaclesaurus”, but a person who lives by concepts (or, at least, who knows them) . After this, Gopnik will become more careful.
As has already been said, many of the gopniks are not complete scumbags, but quite adequate boys, they will not beat anyone without a reason. They want to stumble upon a victim who, under pressure, will falter and give up everything. They, like other living beings, have a biological instinct of self-preservation; they do not want to come into conflict with a person from whom they could get problems. Therefore, they subtly check their victim to understand who they are dealing with. And the best option is to position yourself correctly from the very beginning, show firmness and not say anything unnecessary.
4. Cautious Conclusion
After the gopnik failed to find a reason to get to the bottom of you, he, of course, does not want to be a loser and be in a stupid position, so there are two options for the development of further events:
1) Out of despair, he will start fighting with you, which will put him in the category of offenders (from the point of view of the law) and lawless people (from the point of view of concepts). But he most likely won’t need this, because if he wanted to beat him, he would have done it right away.
2) He will begin to say that the goal was different - to get to know each other, to communicate purely in a friendly manner, that is, he will try to somehow rehabilitate himself, get away from the “miss,” and turn the result of the game into a draw. I think this will suit you quite well, so give him this opportunity:
Don't know me? Well, let's get to know each other!
After you have introduced yourself, and then he has introduced himself, you can shake hands.
If he adds: “I want to get to know you like a normal guy” or “I see you’re a normal guy,” you’ll earn yourself a point. After all, he himself called you a “normal kid,” and these are not simple words for gopniks.
Example:
Let me smoke (call, 10 rubles)!
Listen, I don't know you.
Are you crazy?
Checking for a sucker's suit? (Do you want to run into me?)
I'm asking you like a normal guy!
The ball is yours! He makes excuses and calls you a “normal kid.” If you have cigarettes and don’t mind giving them, then you can treat them. After his last words, you definitely won’t look like a sucker with a cigar thrown off your face. If there are no cigarettes, say that you would be glad to help, but you don’t smoke.
5. Don't get carried away
If you did everything correctly and turned the situation around without letting yourself be broken, then it is quite reasonable to quickly say goodbye and leave. Otherwise, the feeling of defeat may cause a new wave of attacks on his part. Shake your hand, wish you luck and leave immediately.
Attention! After the introduction and handshake, cycles of further questions may again follow. It is possible that the acquaintance itself was only a ruse, so you need to be vigilant until the very end and not relax. No matter how many such cycles there are, your task is the same - not to provide a reason. Do not make excuses, do not answer questions, do not fulfill requests, do not break into high tones. Remain polite and calm. If he avoids a specific question, continue to demand an answer. Ask questions like: “Is this a hit-and-run?”, “Did you decide to check for a sucker’s suit?”
And finally, as soon as you move away from him in your direction, don’t turn around, don’t stare at the Gopnik. This may not be viewed entirely correctly by him, which may lead to the continuation of an unpleasant conversation.
The term "jargon" in linguistics denotes a separate layer of vocabulary, characteristic of a separate social group, profession or community, which differs from the literary language in specific phrases and words, as well as expressiveness of turns. The vocabulary of jargon, as a rule, is formed on the basis of the literary language. Words borrowed from it are rethought, redesigned and acquire new content (for example, “jerk” - “go”, “wheelbarrow” - “car”, etc.).
In modern language, jargon has become widespread among young people. However, even in this environment, it is possible to identify slang layers that are characteristic of representatives of certain subcultures. Thus, in particular, we can talk about the jargon of hipsters, the jargon of goths, the jargon of emo or the jargon of gopniks. Each of the listed subcultures uses a special vocabulary.
Next, let's take a closer look at the gopnik jargon. Gopniks are called representatives of aggressively minded youth, close to the criminal world or with criminal behavioral traits. Teenagers from dysfunctional families often become gopniks, although they do not call themselves gopniks and consider this term offensive when applied to them. Gopniks talk about themselves as “boys” or “real (clear) boys.”
In communication between gopniks and opponents, the so-called “loading” is often used, when the speaker tries to convince listeners that he is right in an aggressive manner, making him appear guilty. Gopniks under no circumstances admit that they are wrong, even in the most illogical situations.
Some expressions that gopniks use:
Babos, loot, lave - money.
A sucker is a stupid person whose money can be taken away.
Vasya is a stupid person or an appeal to an interlocutor whom they want to belittle.
Sunflower seeds - sunflower seeds.
Sit down on the courts - squat (in this position the gopniks spend most of their time, thinking and talking).
Pivasik, Pivchanskoye - beer.
Decl, chutos, chutar - not enough.
Malaya is Gopnik's girlfriend.
Sheep is a stupid girl.
Chixa is a pretty girl.
Kent, the kid is a friend.
Kent - be friends.
Gop-stop - attack, robbery.
Sysh what - an appeal to any person.
In reality, I really fucking will - an attempt to convince the interlocutor that he is right.
Decl - not enough.
Badass, awesome - the highest degree of satisfaction.
Hanging - relaxing, having fun.
To persecute is to deceive, to tell a lie.
The rat is a greedy person, a thief.
Stick in, smoke - do nothing.
Shovel - wallet.
Answer, babble - give the floor.
To soar is to deceive.
Popadalovo, popandos is a problem.
Let go - calm down.
To smoke is to smoke drugs.
Bruise - drink alcoholic beverages.
Hut is a vacant apartment.
Shnyaga is any object, problem.
The basic life principles of Gopniks can be defined as follows:
- Who is stronger is right.
- The main thing in life is money.
- Money is not earned, but taken from suckers.
- The most “correct” people are thieves in law and prisoners.
- The zone, the yard and the street are a school of life.
- Anyone who does not live according to concepts is not a person and is not worthy of life.
Gopniks contrast themselves with the so-called informals: rockers, punks, hippies, metalheads. In general, those who walk around with long hair are not worthy of respect according to their standards. The Gopniks' musical preferences are chanson and rap, including American rap. It is curious that almost all representatives of Russian rap support gop culture.
In modern society, each person is a member of different groups. This could be a work collective, a knitting group, a group of friends, and a meeting of neighbors at the same time. Joining such groups implies the acquisition of social status, and with it a social role. But there are representatives of society whose position is not always pleasant and understandable to people. For example, gopniks. Their behavior makes you wonder if they are even ready to be part of society? They are often rude, ill-mannered and do not evoke the slightest approval or sympathy. The phrases of gopniks are confusing, because their meaning is not always clear to everyone. To find out what they are talking about, you need to understand their slang.
Who are the gopniks?
Gopniks are a certain group of people who do not always evoke positive emotions. They are poorly educated people, devoid of cultural understanding (usually teenagers), who behave rudely, respect their “laws” and are engaged in “running into” others. Gopnik and criminal are not identical concepts, although the first is close to the criminal world.
Their lack of funds, combined with their origins from low-income families, becomes the reason why the purpose of “attacks” on passers-by is to “confiscate” small money, watches, and phones. At the same time, they put their victim into a kind of trance; under pressure, she seems to give him the valuables herself. The phrases of Gopniks also play a special role here.
What are the gopniks talking about?
There is no point in guessing what they are talking about among themselves, since all attention should be focused on what the phrases of the gopniks are, whose “attacks” frighten and put people in a stupor. Their main goal is to “let in” the victim, to show that they are the ones who “decide everything” and are “responsible for their market” and, if possible, take away material values. Gopniks use different reasons to appeal to people. The slang of gopniks, the phrases they use to engage the victim in a dialogue, can boil down to: “Hey, guy, is there a gig? Psst, where are you going? Girl, doesn’t your mother need a son-in-law?” etc.
What do Gopniks say?
By the way a person speaks, one can draw a conclusion about how he was raised, what his level of intelligence is and how he can behave in society. This can also be determined by the speech of uneducated and rude groups of people, because the way gopniks speak, phrases, immediately demonstrate their level of development. For the purpose of “attacking” everything they say will be in a harsh, brutal form, because they must show themselves as real men.
“A boy said - a boy did”, “Brother for brother is taken as a basis”, “A clear boy in life in the subject” - these are the peculiar mottos of the gopots, which they often use to show that they have their own principles that should command respect from other people. But in practice this does not happen.
Gopnik phrases
Gopniks are different, each such “gang” may have its own catchphrases, but we can also identify those that each of this class resorts to. They often call their buddies “Vasya”, which in their slang equates, to put it mildly, with a fool; they ask deep philosophical questions like “Who are you in life?”; they care about the health of passers-by and test their hearing with the phrase “Hear, you.” No joke, the phrases of Gopniks are a phenomenon that is both funny and terrible. Their most popular sayings:
- “Are you confused? / What are you doing, fraer? - indignation.
- “Why are you so impudent?” - reaction to an attempt to object to the gopnik.
- “Come here, boy! Listen, don’t you understand? Come here, he said!” - engaging in conversation.
- “Do you have 50 kopecks (kopecks)? There’s not enough for travel,” a request for help.
- “An arrow at five? I’ll come anyway,” a promise to be at the meeting, which is scheduled for five o’clock.
- “Why are you chasing a demon?” - the interlocutor says obvious stupidity.
- “Well, I’m a deer, I forgot my lave at home.” - “I’m a fool because I forgot my cash at home.”
- “Bro, what color are you?” - "Tell about yourself".
- “Chicken the hell out of me.” - “Look at the Adidas sneakers/sneakers I bought.”
- “As far as whitefish is concerned, I’m completely clueless. Stuck in hard” - a strong effect of tobacco products.
- “Maybe we can talk on the courts?” - “Maybe we should sit down?”
All this is accompanied by obscene language, which is used, as they say, “to connect words.” This, first of all, makes people experience sharply negative feelings when they see such citizens. The phrases of gopniks are a separate language that can only be understood by those who “squeeze the cache” and for whom “everything is fine.”
How to deal with gopniks?
When such a group of people is put into a disadvantageous position by their “assault”, it is not worth using their own weapons, namely the phrases of gopniks, against them. Any dispute can be resolved diplomatically, even if in this case it will be difficult. When they say to you: “What, is there anything?” - it’s hard to understand what we’re talking about. It is no less difficult to behave with restraint when people are shouting behind your back: “Why the hell are you so hairy?”
But even in such situations, it is worth choosing those words that will give a chance to avoid such contact, but will not offend the main opponent, which can lead to dire consequences.

The article contains statements, quotes and phrases from Gopniks. Gopniks (gopari, gopy, gopota, gopna, gopoten, gopyo) - this slang word in Russian refers to representatives of urban aggressive youth.
Who are the gopniks?
Gopniks are a certain group of people who do not always evoke positive emotions. They are poorly educated people, devoid of cultural understanding (usually teenagers), who behave rudely, respect their “laws” and are engaged in “running into” others. Gopnik and criminal are not identical concepts, although the first is close to the criminal world.
Their lack of funds, combined with their origins from low-income families, becomes the reason why the purpose of “attacks” on passers-by is to “confiscate” small money, watches, and phones. At the same time, they put their victim into a kind of trance; under pressure, she seems to give him the valuables herself. The phrases of Gopniks also play a special role here.
What are the gopniks talking about?
There is no point in guessing what they are talking about among themselves, since all attention should be focused on what the phrases of the gopniks are, whose “attacks” frighten and put people in a stupor. Their main goal is to “let in” the victim, to show that they are the ones who “decide everything” and are “responsible for their market” and, if possible, take away material values. Gopniks use different reasons to appeal to people. The slang of gopniks, the phrases they use to engage the victim in a dialogue, can boil down to: “Hey, guy, is there a gig? Psst, where are you going? Girl, doesn’t your mother need a son-in-law?” etc.
What do Gopniks say?
By the way a person speaks, one can draw a conclusion about how he was raised, what his level of intelligence is and how he can behave in society. This can also be determined by the speech of uneducated and rude groups of people, because the way gopniks speak, phrases and slang words immediately demonstrate their level of development. For the purpose of “attacking” everything they say will be in a harsh, brutal form, because they must show themselves as real men.
“A boy said - a boy did”, “Brother for brother is taken as a basis”, “A clear boy in life in the subject” - these are the peculiar mottos of the gopots, which they often use to show that they have their own principles that should command respect from other people. But in practice this does not happen.
Gopniks are different, each such “gang” may have its own catchphrases, but we can also identify those that each of this class resorts to. They often call their buddies “Vasya”, which in their slang equates, to put it mildly, with a fool; they ask each other deep philosophical questions like “Who are you in life?”; they care about the health of passers-by and test their hearing with the phrase “Hear, you.” No joke, the phrases of Gopniks are a phenomenon that is both funny and terrible. Their most popular sayings:
- “Are you confused? / What are you doing, fraer? - indignation.
- “Why are you so impudent?” - reaction to an attempt to argue with Gopnik.
- “Come here, boy! Listen, don’t you understand? Come here, he said!” - engaging in conversation.
- “Do you have 50 kopecks (kopecks)? There’s not enough for travel,” a request for help.
- “An arrow at five? I’ll come anyway,” a promise to be at the meeting, which is scheduled for five o’clock.
- “Why are you chasing a demon?” - the interlocutor says obvious stupidity.
- “Well, I’m a deer, I forgot my lave at home.” - “I’m a fool because I forgot my cash at home.”
- “Bro, what color are you?” - "Tell about yourself".
- “Chicken the hell out of me.” - “Look at the Adidas sneakers/sneakers I bought.”
- “As far as whitefish is concerned, I’m completely clueless. Stuck in hard,” the strong effect of tobacco products.
- “Maybe we can talk on the courts?” - “Can we sit down?”
All this is accompanied by obscene language, which is used, as they say, “to connect words.” This, first of all, makes people experience sharply negative feelings when they see such citizens. The phrases of gopniks are a separate language that can only be understood by those who “squeeze the cache” and for whom “everything is fine.”
How to deal with gopniks?
When such a group of people is put into a disadvantageous position by their “assault”, it is not worth using their own weapons, namely the phrases of gopniks, against them. Any dispute can be resolved diplomatically, even if in this case it will be difficult. When they say to you: “What, is there anything?” - it’s hard to understand what we’re talking about. It is no less difficult to behave with restraint when people are shouting behind your back: “Why the hell are you so hairy?”
But even in such situations, it is worth choosing those words that will give a chance to avoid such contact, but will not offend the main opponent, which can lead to dire consequences.
