As a teenager, he dressed like a dude, but this fashion was not enough for the manifestation of innate expression, so Peter often resorted to non-standard means: for example, he walked down the street with a toilet handle instead of an earring. Hyperactivity and the desire for shocking forced him to perform unusual acts. For example, while walking in the park, he sometimes ran away and pretended to hit the wall at full speed, and then lay and watched people gather around him. To avoid the army, he pretended to be crazy: he was examined in a psychiatric hospital and was found unfit for service. There, in the hospital, he became friends with the future rock journalist Artyom Troitsky, who would later play an important role in his career, according to Wikipedia.
