Vladimir, if you have lights inside, you can have fun with any small tomato plants.

1. You make the cross.

2. When those tomatoes are ripe, plant the F1 seeds. You only need one good one. (Easy to grow this inside)

3. When those are ripe, plant the F2 seeds. You should plant many F2 seeds. Do this generation outside so you can grow maybe 10 or more. (More is better.) When the tomatoes are ripe, decide which one(s) you want to keep going.

4. Plant the F3 seeds. You don't need as many. (Maybe 8?) Choose the best one(s) to keep going. Repeat until you get to F8. But by the time you get F6, you will have almost a finished product.

You can get 2 or almost 3 generations a year if you grow inside with a light in winter. You can get about 8 plants in 1 gallon trade pots (about 3 liters of soil) under one light, then put aluminum foil around it so all the light is reflected back to the plant. This is the light I use:
