Kiosk: The Heart of 90s Russia

This LoRA is dedicated to those who grew up in Russia during the 90s, who survived and continue to live. This is the first and so far only LoRa on Civitai.

To make the windows of the kiosk covered with bars, add “window bars” to the prompt.

A 90s kiosk ("laryok") in Russia was more than just a shop — it was a symbol of the era.

These small stands, scattered across neighborhoods, offered everything: "Love Is..." gum, imported beer cans, chocolate (Mars, Snickers, Hershey's), Cola cans, VHS tapes, Nintendo cartriges and everyday essentials. Every visit felt like a tiny adventure, a chance to trade a coin for a piece of happiness.

But kiosks were also about connection. The vendor often knew you by name, and people would stop to chat, share news, or just hang out. Kids gathered with coins for ice cream, while adults found solutions to life’s little problems.

They captured the chaos and charm of the times — a mix of freedom, nostalgia, and simple joys. Today, modern stores have replaced them, but nothing can match the warmth and spirit of the humble 90s kiosk.
