I don't remember if I have ever mentioned this, but my Bell (Artyom) is somehow based on a very popular Soviet/Ukrainian singer and actor named Mark Bernes.
The reason is just because I really like the movie Два Бойца, but to be honest, Arkady is not the character I used when I created my Bell appearance. It was actually Krasovskiy (he's a spy) from the movie Шахтеры. I used him more as a reference because in this movie Bernes have dark hair. (but Два Бойца is still my favourite movie where he appeared)
I also kinda also used Kostya in the movie Человек с ружьем. That's quite the reason why my Bell have this thing with the October Revolution.
Out of context, but in that movie the actor who play Lenin is so damn similar that is kinda scary.
My Bell is actually based on many Soviet singers. I just made a weird mix, but mostly he's based on Mark Bernes. If you want to imagine his voice, imagine him with this voice.
Something funny about this movie, Ночной патруль, is that you can hear Bernes talking in English.
