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

Anybody who regrets killing Faustin thumps up

"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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

“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.

mikhail is like a russian tony montana

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

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

"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

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

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

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.

Mikhail knew Dimitri was turning snake the whole time

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

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

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

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. 😢

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...

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

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

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

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

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”

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

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

"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.

Unintentionally the most hilarious GTA character ever

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.

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.

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

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

He called Niko "baby" 😂😂😂😂

Mikhail had a very cool voice

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.”*

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

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

“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 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

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

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

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.

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

I feel like Mikhail Faustin could be a real walking meme

"You've been a bad boy Niko Bellic"

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

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

Mikhail is a less angry version of Trevor.

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

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.

Mikhail trigger word: *calm*

"Niko bellic baby, good to see you"

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 .

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.

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

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

I wish I could spare Faustin

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

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

19:13 Niko Bellic Baby😂

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love his accent

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

"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.

The characters in gta 4 move around so much lol

After everything, minus the temper, Mikhail was one of the sanest

Better than anything in GTA 5

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, ;)

Faustin: "My wife doesn't like when people shout!" Also Faustin: *fires two gunshots in the basement*

Iam the only one who thinks that Mikhail is hilarious?

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

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