Favorite doesn't matter about actual roles, ofc everyone can have their personal favorites in each show not just this type.

Yes, I know it. The main characters there are the already mentioned Marat, his older brother and gang leader Volodya and Andrei, a newcomer to the group, needed to be a reason to explain to the audience what is happening. Other gangs, the police, the Komsomol and ordinary citizens, respectively, are their antagonists.

Again don't get the full context about said disgusting character/behavior, or how the gang pitting is done, but someone's goodness don't take away their severe vileness if it exists, like if they're an accomplished public servant, but is abusive over their family, they'd still be abusive - it'd be how they have terrible traits outside of their successful benefit on their actions.

This is understandable, but then the character still harms someone. What if he does only good things, but is portrayed as negatively and disgustingly as possible? Again, I understand how and why this is done. My question is more whether there is a special term for this.
