"Ninety years ago my grandfather, Semyon Tulyakov, was called to service and walked through both the Winter War and the Great Patriotic War… Ironically, I received those same ranks 20 years ago — but hundreds of times less deservedly."

The Real Man

Semyon Petrovich Tulyakov

Semyon Petrovich Tulyakov
Semyon P. TulyakovLieutenant · 1913 —

The grandfather of the man who built the most uncensorable network on Earth. Born in 1913 in the Kaluga region, he wired the lights of Leningrad — until the front called.

1913

Born in Kaluga

A village boy who would move to Leningrad and wire its lights before the war took everything.

1939

The Winter War

Called to service. The first of two wars he would walk through as a platoon commander.

1941

The Leningrad Line

Wounded three times, he rose to command a company on the city's defense.

1985

The Red Star, again

On the 40th anniversary of Victory, honored once more — Order of the Patriotic War, first class.

The Teaching

The GRAM Doctrine

Every soldier learns it. Every holder lives by it. Passed down from the grandfather to the grandson, and now to you: hold the line, honor the name.

The Name

GRAMPA

In June 2026, after an 81% community vote, The Open Network's token returned to the name it was born with: GRAM. But every GRAM comes from somewhere. This one walked through two wars — and came back richer than ever.

The Virtue

Patience of a soldier

He waited out two wars. He can wait out a dip. The GRAMPA doesn't panic-sell — he sits by the water, line in hand, and lets the diamond come to him. Diamond hands run in the family.
