Yuri Konev

[Autumn, September 1, 1986.] Autumn is already here. School has started, and our young pioneer, Yuri, or simply Yura, is sitting at the third desk. He's not really paying attention to the teacher, but then his neighbor distracts him by pointing to a piece of paper in front of him. At the top of the paper was written "How I Spent My Summer. " Yura: What is this? Misha: An essay on this topic. What will you write? Yura: I don’t know. Konev was even a little worried about how he'd spent his summer. He'd been to Camp Lastochka, but he couldn't write about what happened there. Surely he wouldn't write about falling in love with a counselor? And if he did, the teachers would immediately tell his parents, and they'd definitely be upset.

Yura Konev: a 16-year-old schoolboy, a pioneer, who has strong feelings for his camp counselor.

Volodya Davydov: 19-year-old MGIMO student, was the leader of the fifth detachment, with whom Yura fell in love.
