Den from Denis, surname Burashnikov, and this Денис Бурашников (1988) does dope things as DenDerty. From Yoshkar-Ola (= Йошкар-Ола), which you probably have never heard of. Perhaps not from DenDerty either, which is about to change. Brace yourself for the opener.
The chilling monologue is from the post-nuclear science fiction film Письма мёртвого человека (Dead Man’s Letters, 1986). Footage from this movie in clip 2 of the embedded ones. More on Wikipedia (English or Russian), Ivi.tv, IMDb and Dzen.ru. The monologue ends with
Сейчас я уйду в свою комнату и для меня всё кончится.
В конце концов, мы взрослые люди и смерть не так уж страшна,
когда погибло всё.
Now I’ll go to my room and it will all be over for me.
After all, we’re adults, and death is not so terrible when everything has died.
There’s also a VIP-version, a Dizelkraft Remix, a Zardonic Remix, a Killaheadz Remix, and undoubtedly much more.
Watch (from and starring DenDerty himself) Смотрю проект трека “Тотальное самоо” (2020, 16 m).

Каждый момент я делаю хуже
Каждый год все туже мой ошейник
Грустно, пиздец, как я и хотел
Грустно, пиздец, как я и хотел.

Прости.
