Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
Like Lisa, this user is a principled intellectual and media professional who combines a deep social conscience with a sharp, often cynical wit. They display a high-minded dedication to journalism and 'true crime' projects at Holod, yet they struggle with the emotional weight of global events, much like Lisa’s existential angst, noting that “Every mention of Miuss breaks my heart”. They are a fierce critic of intellectual laziness and propaganda, ruthlessly mocking public figures by stating that “Any fanatic eventually turns out to be a dumbass”. Despite their sophisticated exterior, they possess a relatable 'overachiever' streak, pushing themselves through “suffering” runs and fitness goals to manage the stress of their convictions.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTP
Yurka exhibits Extroversion (E) through his constant engagement with public discourse and his social outreach, such as asking “Tbilisi, write me a DM if anyone is drinking somewhere tonight”. His Intuition (N) is evident in his focus on media trends, irony, and socio-political metaphors, like comparing himself to “a tile without a drain at the 'Moscow Seasons' festival”. He leads with Thinking (T), often using blunt, aggressive logic to dismantle arguments, telling a user to “go f*** yourself” for posturing with their ignorance. Finally, his Perceiving (P) trait shows in his spontaneous lifestyle and flexible work habits, admitting he “climbed out of bed and a TV show just to go to a party”.
Some pickup lines for you
- Are you a 40-minute true crime video for 'Holod'? Because even though you're a lot of work to keep up with, I’m ready to watch you on repeat all Sunday.
- Forget the French meat with pineapple—I promise I’m much more authentic and won't get rerouted to Riga when you're waiting for me.
- I may not have a month’s supply of mephedrone or 'Army of Russia' pajamas, but I’d still love to be the reason you get out of bed for a party.
- You survived a 15km run and black Buldak noodles in the same week? You must have a heart of gold and a stomach of steel—let’s see if you have room for a drink with me.
- They say your face is a professor's but your soul is a poet's... how about we let the 'primate brain' take a night off and just grab some Bordeaux and stracciatella?

Your signature cocktail
The Square-Faced Exile
This drink captures a man who claims “my face is square” and possesses the “soul of a poet, and the brain of a primate.” The strong vodka base reflects his current life in Vilnius and his grueling routine of “pulling weights and pressing irons” to handle work stress, while the red wine nod to Tbilisi recalls his frequent nights out where he drinks and “loves everyone.” The bitter notes and salt represent his nostalgic ache for Moscow and the “suffering” of his 10km runs. Finally, the doughnut garnish is a tribute to his discovery that “Cinnabon comes from the word sin.”
Your Hogwarts House
Gryffindor
Yurka exhibits classic Gryffindor bravery and a blunt, confrontational style when defending his convictions, notably calling out moral failures with tweets like “Any fanatic eventually reveals himself as a dumbass”. He demonstrates the house's signature impulsiveness and physical drive, pushing himself through “suffering” runs and celebrating the “absolute champion” spirit of combat sports. His work in investigative journalism (true crime and history) for Holod shows a commitment to exposing difficult truths, while his willingness to “f*** off” those he disagrees with reflects a fiery, lion-like temperament. Ultimately, his mix of athletic endurance, protective loyalty to those “taken by force”, and unfiltered honesty solidifies his place in the house of the brave.
Your movie
Your song
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Yurka Belyat's profile oscillates between a restless, nomadic existence in exile and an intense drive for physical and professional endurance. He frequently documents his long-distance running journey, moving from a “record ten” to “running a half-marathon”, mirroring the song's theme of escaping through movement. The lyrics' sense of longing for a lost home resonates with his poignant admissions about missing Moscow, stating “heart breaks, how I miss home” and reflecting on a “city where I will probably never return”. Despite this melancholy, he maintains a high-octane lifestyle producing “hell of a videos” and embracing a tough, “hooligan body, poet soul” persona. This combination of romanticized flight, physical exhaustion, and the search for meaning in a 'proscribed time' perfectly aligns with Born to Run's anthemic spirit.
