U-99 > WHO WAS THE FOUNDER OF THE GROUP? THE GROUP WAS FOUNDED AT THE END
1996 IN SHORT WE WERE ALL THE FOUNDERS AND STILL KRAK. FIRST
WE WERE JUST HANGING OUT TOGETHER AND EXCHANGING SOMETHING. IN SHORT
SPEAKING WE SITT AT HOME AND SAY - SO THE GROUP SHOULD PROBABLY ORGA-
LOWER, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE SITTING HERE, DRINKING BEER,
HE LISTENS TO MUSIC, BUT THERE IS NO GROUP. COME ON - COME ON. AS A GROUP
WHAT SHOULD WE CALL IT? I SAY (SMOKE) U-97, I DECIDED TO HAVE A JOKE.
THEN THERE WAS A SEA OF OTHER NAMES.IN SHORT "U" ENCRYPTED
"UNIT", IT WORKED. THIS COMRADE IS COMING ( - WHO, I AM SO
AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND -), AND SAYS, - WHAT ARE YOU GUYS HERE U-97, A
WHY 97, - AND BECAUSE IT'S 97. AND THEN NEXT YEAR

NIYA GROUP.
MR.CREDO > DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT DAY IT WAS FORMED?
U-99 > UHHH, IT WAS SUMMER WHEN THERE WAS BEER. MAIN
YEAR YES, BY THE WAY, IT HAPPENED AT LEKHA'S HOME. THEY STILL WANTED IT
ELECT AN ORGANIZER, YES AN ORGANIZER ( - EVERYTHING FOR SOMEHOW BECAME
FUNNY - ) . I REFUSED BUT THEN I FINALLY AGREED, BECAUSE
THAT, STILL, HE HAD NO RESPONSIBILITIES. U
WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITIES AT ALL, EVERYONE DOES...
MR.CREDO > AND WHO IS MISSING?
U-99 > HERE ? CERTAINLY . TWO PEOPLE: GRAPHICS OF ONE
FORMER AND CODER .
MR.CREDO > AND J-SOFT, IS IT NOT INCLUDED WITH YOU AT ALL?
U-99 > J-SOFT ? HE IS ACTUALLY ON HIMSELF. AT ONE TIME HE
HE WAS ALONG WITH OLEG MATVEEV, HE EVEN DID SOMETHING THERE.
HISEATING A BAD HABIT IS FLATTERY TO THE KEYBOARD. OKAY
YOU, A... (- I DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING FURTHER, BECAUSE I IMMEDIATELY BECAME
SPEAKING ALL MEMBERS OF U-99, THE DICTAPHONE CAN'T STAND IT - )
MR.CREDO > IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A PC AND HOW MANY MACHINES DO YOU HAVE?
U-99 > SO FAR ONLY KRAKa HAS IBM, BUT IN GENERAL FRIENDS HAVE A LOT OF THEM
AND ACQUAINTANCES.
MR.CREDO > LESH'S QUESTION FOR YOU. HOW MUCH "BLACK CROW" ARE YOU?
OPENED?
ADEPT > I OPENED IT ON THE FIRST DAY, IT ALREADY WORKED,
BUT THE GLITCHES STILL REMAINED. WELL, HOW I FOUND THE FIRST JOKE. THIS
HERE. WELL, SOMETHING SIMPLE, WELL, OKAY. I WILL PLAY, BY-
I WATCH HOW IT PLAYS. PASSED THE LEVEL, ONCE HANGED. AHA,
SO THERE IS A CHECK SOMEWHERE. AND SO I WENT TO CHECK.
WELL, IN GENERAL, IF I DON’T KNOW PURE TIME, SO STRETCH IT,
THIS TOOK UP FOR TWO WEEKS. IT'S LONG, IT'S VERY LONG.
MR.CREDO >WHAT WAS THE PROTECTION THERE, STRONG?
ADEPT > I DON'T KNOW HOW TO VIEW IT, STRONG OR NOT. WHEN
FUCK - IT'S LIKE DIFFICULT WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY DONE EVERYTHING, - OH,YES THERE, WHAT TO DO THERE, HOW HE DID SO SO
SIMPLE. YES IN GENERAL, HOW CAN YOU PROTECT THE PROGRAM?
U-99 > IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PROTECT IT! AT ALL, I DIDN’T LEAVE LEHA,
NOT ONE MAGAZINE. HIS USUAL PHRASE IS, “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOY FOR ME?”
KA, LET ME SEE HOW IT IS PROTECTED!!!
MR.CREDO > DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU OPENED YOUR FIRST PROGRAM?
MU?
ADEPT > WELL OPENED THAT. I BREAKED THE PROTECTION, THERE WAS A DISK
LOADER, EVERYTHING IS LOGGED IN THERE. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IS LOADED WHERE.
AND THE BLOCK ITSELF IS LOCKED. MONS, THERE WERE NO STS THEN.
MONS DID ALL THIS. IT WAS PRETTY DIFFICULT, BUT THEN I
USED. BUT WHEN I SAW STS, ( - I WILL NOT WRITE HERE,
AS LESHA EXPRESSED ABOUT STS, IT CANNOT BE DESCRIBED, JUST PRE-
BET YOURSELF THAT YOU HAVE FOUND A WALLET WITH MORE THAN ONE HUNDREDS OF CONDITIONAL
UNITS - ) . IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE CAREFUL IN GENERAL PROTECTION
WHY ARE THEM MADE, "SO THEY WILL BE BREAKED." YOU CAN'T DO IT WRONG
DAMN DEFENSE! THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN TO EVERYONE FOR A LONG TIME. THIS
IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF TIME AND WHO WILL BREAK IT.
U-99 > THE COOLEST THING IS THAT PROTECTION IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT
BET. THIS IS MUCH MORE HARD! SO THAT SHE STILL WORKSEVERYONE
THERE ARE SO MANY BUGS, IT WORKS ON ONE MACHINE, BUT NOT ON ANOTHER.
ADEPT > BUT ALTHOUGH PROTECTIONS WERE PROMISED TO THE MOSCOW HACKERS,
THAT YOU WILL NOT BREAK UFO-2 IN EITHER TWO OR THREE MONTHS. WELL I
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THEM, I ACCIDENTALLY HAPPENED TO BREAK THE
SHIELD FOR 6 HOURS OF CLEAN WORK. I WATCHED FIRST:
- OH PROTECTION, NO, I WILL NOT BREAK. I WILL PLAY. I KNOW THAT
GOOD TOY, I LOVE THE STRATEGY TOO. STARTED PLAYING.
THEN I THOUGHT SOMETHING, THE DISCS SHOULD BE GIVEN AWAY LATER, BUT
I ALSO WANT TO LEAVE HER. Well, I sat down and took off. WELL MOSTLY
I LIKE TO BREAK PROTECTIONS, WRITE ANYTHING - THESE ARE UTILITIES,
SYSTEM PROGRAMS. I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE A TOY, BUT I NEED IT
AN ARTIST, AND PREFERABLY A SECOND CODER.
MR.CREDO > SO YOU ARE ALL CODERS???
U-99 > ALL CODERS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN ARTIST. OR rather WITH US
THERE IS AN ARTIST WHO ( - THERE IS A SMALL PAUSE HERE - )
DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. YES. HE CAN DO, BUT THE QUESTION IS,
THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS OWN COMPUTER. THIS IS OUR ARTIST!
WELL HE HAD HIS OWN COMPUTER, HE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
ADEPT > AND ALSO FROM PRODUCTS IN GENERAL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAINWE ARE ALL ORIENTED FOR OURSELVES.
U-99 > ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS, WATCHING DEMUKS. WATCH HOW
EFFECTS ARE MADE, THERE ARE SUCH Tricks, SUCH BELLS.
MR.CREDO > DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER GROUPS?
U-99 > YES. KRAK AND IGOR WENT TO NOVOSIBIRSK TO FLASH inc.
THEY CALLED AND ASKED HOW TO FIND IT. WITH A LITTLE SEARCH, WE FOUND THE HOUSE.
WHEN YOU ENTER THE ENTRANCE IT'S WRITTEN ON THE WALL "FLASH" IN PENCIL -
NOISE, BUT BEAUTIFUL. WE SIT AND TALKED. THEY SHOWED US
YOUR OWN "TOFFEE". SO SHE WAS ALREADY ALMOST READY, THERE REMAINED
JUST COMPLETE THE LAST PART AND ASSEMBLE IT ALL.
IT'S A PITY THAT WE WERE NOT THERE FOR A LITTLE TIME. THERE WERE JUST NO TIME.
MR.CREDO > HOW MANY HOURS DOES IT GO THERE BY TRAIN?
U-99 > 8 HOURS THERE, 9 HOURS BACK. I DON'T KNOW WHY.
MR.CREDO > AGAINST THE WIND PROBABLY!
THAT'S ALL! THIS IS WHAT WE END OUR INTERVIEW...
