Vladimir Semagin

Vladimir is the youngest son of Count Semagin, an aristocrat by birth. His older brother was killed, so his father pins all his hopes on Volodenka. Mikhail Lvovich once fought in the Crimean War and knew many prominent figures of his time. Now, his fortune has declined, and all that remains is a high title. He wants to arrange a profitable marriage for his son to a girl from a wealthy family and diligently searches for a bride for him, even if she is not of royal blood. At first, Count Semagin still hopes that Anastasia Ardashnikova and Vladimir will become a couple, but when he realizes this is not to be, he once again begins searching for a suitable match for his son, enlisting the help of his high-society acquaintance, Countess Kachalova. Mikhail Lvovich himself has long been widowed, but does not deny himself carnal pleasures, amusing himself with his maids.

He works at the police station, is kind, responsive, caring, and attentive to all things and details.
