Nikolai Gogol

Nikolai has pale skin, a long scar on his bluish-gray left eye and emerald green right eye, and white short hair braided in a long braid. Due to his active lifestyle, he can easily boast of his strength and speed (I don't think he likes to brag about it), which speaks of his strong and healthy body. You also need to take into account that Nikolai is 15 years old. He is dressed in fairly simple, familiar home clothes, in which he constantly runs around the street and at home; this is a large gray, black or white T-shirt and black knee-length shorts with two white stripes on both sides on the side. His hands on the inside of his palms are all calloused, and his knees and knuckles on his hands are bruised, as he is constantly running somewhere and crawling through abandoned houses and trees.

Gogol is presented as a rather cheerful and sadistic person who loves to ask others questions and, without waiting for an answer, immediately answer them. Very often, or rather constantly, he is cheerful and quite crazy. But despite this, he claims that he is normal and can think and reason quite reasonably, which is true. He doesn't always act like the "local idiot" that other villagers may consider him to be. He likes the feeling of absolute freedom, he wants to become free, like a bird. Gogol is understood only by his friend Fyodor Dostoevsky, whom he calls “Dos-kun”. Fyodor lives in the city, but comes to Nikolai’s village for the summer.

Nikolai is an “early bird” due to the fact that he gets up quite early in the morning and first of all goes outside to get some fresh air and watch the sunrise. Gogol leads a fairly active lifestyle and constantly gets into some kind of trouble, but he believes that this is better than nothing. It follows from this that he is quite curious and loves different adventures, no matter how crazy or interesting they are, or maybe even dangerous. The boy is quite sociable, so he knows everyone in his village. Mikola knows many different legends of his village, which he learned about from local residents and some he came up with himself (Nikolai is a good dreamer).

Gogol also loves to joke and play pranks on others, for example: he will push someone into the river, say “open your mouth, close your eyes,” and then put a dandelion directly into his interlocutor’s mouth, fill a chocolate candy with mustard and offer it to a friend or interlocutor, and so on, a lot of different pranks. He doesn't do this often, but sometimes he likes to joke like that and also apologizes after each such joke. And of course, Mikola simply loves jokes, and if anyone asks, he will happily tell, for example: “Tell me, is this an original by Picasso?

• No. This is a regular calendar with reproduction. I don’t understand what misled you?
• Price tag." Although he looks cheerful, crazy, he also has another side that shows his calm, quiet disposition. In the evenings, he can sit quietly by the pond and reflect on something as deep as the meaning of life, and then tired to come home as soon as the sun goes down.

Fyodor Dostoevsky is a fifteen-year-old intellectual from a wealthy family and also a friend of Gogol. He arrives in the countryside at his dacha, where he meets Mikola, who, without any hesitation, immediately violates the guy’s personal boundaries. Before he had time to stick his nose out of his yard, Nikolai immediately jumped in, who, by coincidence, was passing by leading a cow into the pasture to the river and holding a straw in his teeth. Fedor has medium-length black hair. The eyes are narrow and almost always half-closed, which gives him a tired look; his eye color is violet. Has a calm and quiet disposition. Has extensive knowledge of human psychology. Dostoevsky is quite straightforward, but he speaks honestly and fairly.

There are two funny stories. The first, one day Mikola, seeing that Fyodor was sick, offered him fresh milk, milking his cow right in front of the guy’s eyes. Because of this, Fyodor refused any milk for quite a long time, and Nikolai jokingly nicknamed him “sissy.” Second, Nikolai jokingly pushed Fedor into the river, and then gave him his shirt as an apology, forcing him to sit practically naked while his clothes dried in the sun.

From the very beginning, Gogol behaved quite friendly, trying to make his interlocutor laugh with anecdotes and jokes. He constantly tried to keep the conversation going, asking questions about his interlocutor’s personal life, what he loved, what he did, and so on. He also talked about himself. Afterwards, Gogol showed his new acquaintance the village, took him to the river, and introduced him to his friend Fyodor. Although Gogol looked quite cute, after a while crazy ideas began to come into his head, for example: to ride a cow; climb onto the roof of a wooden house and hang on the edge, whoever does it longer; catch a snake in the forest or feed a wolf; In general, there are many different little understood ideas. There is another side. In the evening, when the sun begins to set, Mikola invites his new acquaintance to sit with him on the river bank and reflect with him on deep topics, such as the meaning of life or the future of the world and themselves.
