Mikhail Faustin 

Faustin respected Niko for being an honest man... The opposite of Dimitri.

"Shut the fuck up! My fucking wife is watching television!" I don't know why but a mob boss introduction coming in with a noise complaint from his wife always gets me rolling

Hands down the most underrated line in the game is when Faustin says "Dimitri will turn on you as well, you shall discover this." At the time you think Faustin's crazy but he was spot on.

Anybody who regrets killing Faustin thumps up

Even though Mikhail was an abusive husband and out of control I kind of liked him at least he wasn't a treacherous snake like Dimitri

I always felt kind of bad for Ilyena.

“This American greed takes everyone, it is like a disease.” Faustin predicted GTA Online.

"... I care about discipline and loyalty" Sums up Faustin's character entirely.

I did not want to kill Faustin.....

So Niko Bellic you think it's ok to kill my employees? If he is an asshole then yes. I agree best moment of this game

Did anyone notice... 10:13 - Dimitri clearly knows Lenny (Petrovic's son) 11:46 - Niko has second thoughts and asks Dimitri if he is sure that he need to kill Lenny, Dimitri could have said "NO" but that asshole let Niko kill him. 12:45 - Dimitri tells Niko what a mistake he did... That asshole planned to kill Mikhail using Niko from the beginning... fucking snake

"you were about to cut up some guy in my house, making all that noise, to find out he is his coustin?"

“Niko Bellic, Baby” this man is hilarious🤣🤣🤣

Karel Roden as Mikhail Faustin is an award-worthy performance. Characters like him and his wife Ilyena made this game feel like it was REAL, not a cartoon. He's probably my favorite character. He's intense, violent, has a hair trigger temper, and is basically on the fast track to self destruction, but I got the sense he was also heartbroken...in lots of pain. He loved Dimitri like a brother, gave years of his life bringing him up, and I think he saw Dimitri's darker ambitions clearly very early on. Somewhere along the line, he realized his partner would eventually betray him, and that Dimitri had been insidiously manipulating and inching his way closer and closer to toppling his rule for a long while now, carrying on the facade of a rational, loyal business partner; lying to his face, making decisions behind his back, even plying him with painkillers...I think this is what broke him: Realizing his closest ally; his best friend he would have given his life for, was really his greatest enemy. ("Something changed in him...years ago..") All these sudden rage fits, coke use, and reckless decisions Faustin made were a furious, last ditch effort to sabotage the reputation and organization they had built together, in the hopes of leaving some major heat for Dimitri to deal with when he inevitably takes over. Unfortunately, this unhinged violence ended up being just what Dimitri needed to turn Niko and the criminal underworld of Hove Beach against him. When he is confronted in Perestroika, he is defeated but not even surprised. All he could do was put up a prideful final fight, and use his last moments to warn Niko of Dimitri's true nature. It's ironic, but true; He was TOO KIND to him. He let the snake into the nest, watched him coil in wait for years, finally striking as soon as the moment was opportune, and he let it happen because he could not bring himself to actually confront or kill his beloved 'brother' Dimitri, even after he had long since realized his treachery. Really a tragic story of betrayal. If you like this actor and this role, check him out in the movie "Running Scared." He plays another Russian gangster, and also happens to be my favorite character in that story as well.

Faustin was such a great character, one of the best in Gta 4 with great cutscenes. Really hoped for an option to spare him. Shame that he was taken out so early in the story, he should have had more screentime.

Fuckin scary guy, but he has some of the funniest quotes nevertheless

Anyone noticed.. about the executions with Vlad, Faustin and Dimitri (Revenge) Vlad gets shot once. Faustin gets shot twice. Dimitri gets shot thrice. Strange.

mikhail is like a russian tony montana

"After you walk into a village, and you see 50 children all sitting neatly in a row against the church wall. Each with there throats cut, and there hands chopped off. You realize that the creature that could do this, doesn't have a soul."

I always stole cars from Faustin's house, when I was in Broker. :D

Mikhail knew Dimitri was turning snake the whole time

"my wife doesn't like when people shout!!!!!!!" XD

While real hitmen kill fast and silently or at least they do it as fast as possible and then bolt away, Niko announces his homicidal intent to the guy standing on the other side of the station, including precise details about who exactly wants him dead and his reasons. Fucking legend

Mikhail Faustin kills me I love his character😂😂 "shut up Dimitri! For the last time!"

If Dimitri wasn’t a rat. Niko, Faustin and Dimitri probably would of been a good trio.

"Good lord, what are you doing?" Even Faustin's surprised

7:46 to 8:07 is very, very important dialogue. listen closely and you get an insight in Dimitri's motivations

I love how in both GTA3 and GTA IV you first start to work for the mafia, and then they betray you so you gotta flee to another island

Only Niko apologizes about deaths he caused and goes to their funeral lol.

When Mikhail says "I f*cking love you" and hugging Dimitri, all Dimitri says is "Yes, yes. I know this." I think that shows you that Dimitri doesn't love Mikhail though. 😢

You know it's real fucked up knowing that Faustin warned us all exactly about Dimitri and what he will do to you and it's hard to tell but perhaps it was Dimitri who put Faustin in the state of mind that he was in

I like Nikko's interactions with Mrs. Faustin. You can tell they genuinely respect each other.

Niko: Hello. Dimitri: -Hello, Ilyena. Mikhail: *W H A T I S T H A T ?*

- You. Go and kill this guy. - Are you sure? - Sure? No, I'm not. Right now, I'm wondering if it's him or you. You, prove you're loyal. Go, and kill the guy. - Don't question my loyalty. - Then don't question my orders! My favorite moment from video

As funny as Faustin is, he is the living embodiment of too far gone with greed. Even his wife says it. “He used to be happy, he used to make me happy”

Man, I love this game. I can't understand the people, who don't like it, because it was "too serious" for them. I mean, look at The last of us. It's a very serious game, and it's extremely good because of the seriousness. And just because GTA was known for the comedy, the satire and that you always laugh, it doesn't mean that GTA is not allowed to do a more serious game...

"Wherever you go, people will find you, if they want you badly enough". I dare say this is a nod to Bulgarin appearing very soon after killing Faustin.

Nice to see a Czech actor dubbing a Russian mafia guy. Good job there, Rockstar. You made me as a citizen of the town where the Mikhail voice actor was born, proud.

I swear I quote Mikhail almost daily, his phrases are so underrated. He's so quotable.

Unintentionally the most hilarious GTA character ever

For some reason, Mikhail's and Dimitri's friendship reminds me of Billy Grey's and Johnny Klebitz's. Both were best friends for long time. Each of them has a similar intention. Dimitri and Johnny wanted to make money, although they're following their leaders' orders. Mikhail and Billy were both drug addicts of cocaine whose violent rashs brought problems to those around them, leading to their own demise. Although Johnny was betrayed by Billy, unlike Dimitri who double-crossed Mikhail, ended up having his former best friend killed out of his actions. One more significant common thing is that in the end they met the same fate, but in a different circumstances. Also, both Dimitri and Johnny were 39 years old by their deaths.

He was creazy but he was loyal and honest. He was 100 times better than Dimitri.

Let's take a moment to thank Mikhail Faustin for the 8 Turismos I stole from him.

Mikhail Faustin is very similar to Marty Williams from GTA VCS : they are both leaders of a Mob. They are both Abusive husbands. They both have one daughter. And they are both killed by the protagonist during the first act of the game

"Shut the fuck up! My fucking wife is watching television" Idk how to explains but this always kills me 😅😅😅😅😅

He called Niko "baby" 😂😂😂😂

Gotta love Mikhail. He had some best one-liners in this game. Such as… *”My fuc*in wife is watching television!”* *”My wife doesn’t like when people shout!”* *”You’re about cuttin some guy in my house, to find out he is his cousin?”* *”Dimitri will turn on you as well! You should discover this.”*

Mikhail had a very cool voice

I didn't want to kill Mikhail Faustin.

Mikhail is one of my favorite chracaters from the GTA universe. And GTA IV has the best characters overall. I miss this game man.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! My fucking wife is watching television"

Seriously great voice actor. Absolutely killed the anger issue husband role

“American greed will take everyone, it’s like a disease” Perfectly sums up the game (and in part implies Deal being the canon ending) Also this line is way too much of a truth bomb to be a throw away line in a shooting mission

Mikhail is a less angry version of Trevor.

I find myself impersonating him from time to time. such a funny character

Ilyene and Anna end up in a 1-room apartment, yet after the mission Anna is crying upstairs? Rockstar Logic

Lmao the part where Faustin plays with the glock and Niko just watches

"What are you still doing here? I SAID GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" One of my favourite antagonists...

"Don't question my loyalty."...."Then don't question my orders." Was a bomb ass reply...

"You've been a bad boy Niko Bellic"

That sucks Nikko was tricked into killing him. Mikhail and Nikko would make a good long lasting friendship since both like working for each other and both are loyal. If it wasn’t for Dimitri, who was a manipulative psychopath who only cared about himself, and would do anything to betray anybody.

I love his reaction when he sees Niko. Niko bellic! Good name good name. Niko bellic baby good to see you. I hated that you have to kill him

15:12 "Yeah, yeah... she's, uh, very lucky to have such a loving father..." I think Niko just being sarcastic there xD

You created another masterpiece of one of the many "gta-Story's". The way you handle the Editor and how you tell the Stories... In my opinion you are a real artist. Keep doing such a good job, ;)

10:59 Dont question my loyalty THEN DONT QUESTION MY ORDERS

I feel like Mikhail Faustin could be a real walking meme

1553: Ivan the Terrible 2008: Mikhail the Terrible 455 years away from each other Both Russians

Mikhail trigger word: *calm*

I wish I could spare Faustin

0:32-0:54 No one's gonna comment that Mikhail suddenly seems to know Niko and call him by his name? When I played this for the first time I thought maybe they knew each other, like they were comrades in the army or something.

16:10 - 16:13 that cut is just hilarious

“Dimitri will turn on you As well!”

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, MY WIFE IS WATCHING TELEVISION!" *literally shoots a gun twice*

I feel sorry for him, Mikhail knew that Dmitry was a traitor, and wanted to warn Niko, one of whose characters I did not want to kill .

That basement scene is the best scene in the history of GTA and Faustin's appearance in it is the best character intro - "Shut the fuck up, my fucking wife is watching television!". Everything the man says is quotable, a brilliantly written and acted character.

19:09 when your emo friend is going off on his mom 😂

Basically after the murder of Faustin the storyline weakens for quite a period

5:40 I loved when he throws the bottle at Dimitri who is standing right there, and when Faustin yells at him again he supposes that he runs away

"Shuthe f*ck up" - Mikhail Faustin, 2008

19:13 Niko Bellic Baby😂

14:19 Can't seems to get this scene out of my mind when thinking about gta 4

18:35 Niko is just the best and knowing from wrong to right, just a good speech

For all his flaws he was right. He got everything spot on but the coke addiction made it easy to paint him out as crazy. And to add i think this is a great twist. Faustin being spot on about EVERYTHING despite being manic while the calm one is actually in the wrong.

Fun fact Faustin is based of Tony Montana from scarface we can see that by the scar on his face and the coke addiction also he likes to spend his time at the club

Fun fact The voice actor who played him also played The lawyer in blade 2

Both Faustin and Dimitri are like the alternate bad versions of Niko and Roman.

Hotdog vendor totally ruins the mood and atmosphere at 29:38

lmao wtf was he doing 14:20-14:24 btw Ilyena's accent is really good

He brings incredible grit to the story that doesn’t come back for most of it, and the sad realisation of what a mistake it was to kill him for Ratmitri

"Niko bellic baby, good to see you"

15:36 I love that hand gesture followed up with, "Kill him." Faustin is mercilessly funny! 😂

“Niko Bellic. Good Name, Good Name”💀💀💀💀💀💀

8:56 I play this game for 8 years and I only now noticed that that Natasha has Alex's Chilton model.

Faustin: *YOU SUPERSTEESHUS OL' KROWN!! AYE SEE YOO IN HELL!!* 🤬🔥 Also Faustin: *Niko Bellic! Good name, good name* 😌😌

17:32 me when someone makes a shit joke, still i have to laugh

I wish we could've had the option to spare Faustin

"Hey Slimeball" "Why does every Russian in the city call me that" The lines seriously feel like they have been written by a movie director.

Faustin is probably the most tragic in the business. Seems like all he really wanted to do was provide for his family while everyone leaves them alone. But because dimitri looks at every business opportunity and moves ahead, Faustin was ruined before dying. What makes it worse is, if he didnt kill faustin, dimitri or petrovik would've ended up killing him or since he said "i must rule with fists of iron" you could tell IF he made it out, a heart attack or stroke would kill him. At least since it showed he was going to get really paranoid after the ordeal IF he survived

I think Mikhail is the key character of the game.(and also Roman) Thanks for the video :D

Better than anything in GTA 5
