Askold Tutylopydirskiy

Askold Tutylopidirskiy is a recurring unseen character featured in the majority of works of Nikolay Yeriomin as one of his most noticeable and known trademarks. While he mostly tied to Communal Universes, he may appear or be referenced elsewhere as well.

History
Nikolay Yeriomin has no recollection why he had chosen the name for a recurring character - it just appeared.

As far as Nikolay Yeriomin remembers, his early scripts contained a variation of the name - Itzhak Tutylopidirskiy. After none of this scripts were produced, Tutylopidirskiy started to be mentioned in the movies as Askold, after which Nikolay Yeriomin noticed that insertion of the name somewhere in the film works as a good luck charm of sorts, but only if character is nowhere close to be seen.

In early 2017 a previously common Russian variant of the name ("Askold Tutylopydyrskiy") was dismissed as an incorrect transcription and was last seen officially in PP Studio's co-production with Terra Studio, a short film My Neighbours Were Eaten By Toilets (2017).

Appearances
As Askold Tutylopydirskiy is an unseen character, his appearances usually tend to be a namedrop of some creative kind. Sometimes he is credited in the main titles or end credits, but in 2015 Nikolay Yeriomin noticed that he had credited Tutylopydirskiy too often and those shifted towards more creative ways of inserting the name, although end credits still feature Tutylopidirskiy from time to time.
