Childhood

‎Vasily Vasilievich Kashirin –
Vasily Vasilyevich Kashirin is portrayed as a villain: evil, capricious, and often downright cruel. He's accustomed to taking out his anger on the weak and defenseless members of his family.
Strict and demanding, the old man held all his household members in strict sternness, meting out punishment for any offense.
Stingy and frugal, he collected expensive items throughout his life, including luxurious women's clothing and jewelry, but ultimately no one needed them—all the clothes simply went out of fashion.
Stubborn and boastful, Kashirin created such an oppressive atmosphere in his home that it was simply impossible to live within its walls.
Indifferent to the misfortunes of others. Grandfather is indifferent to what happens outside his family.
However, in his soul there is a place for kindness, tenderness and compassion, but due to a hard life, these qualities were hidden so deeply that Kashirin himself forgot about them.
Honest and fair. Kashirin was disgusted by human meanness and sycophancy, and he sternly fought these vices among the inhabitants of his home.
A deeply religious person, reading prayers is like a code or rules for Kashirin, which he clearly and distinctly pronounces.
Neat and precise. Despite his age, Kashirin is very clean.
Smart. The hero has accumulated a wealth of life experience throughout his life.
Vindictive. Kashirin's behavior is predetermined by his complex biography.
He valued any manifestation of talent in people. For example, he was kind to his adopted son Ivan, who, he said, had golden hands.
Clothes: "His satin, silk-embroidered waistcoat was old and worn, his cotton shirt was wrinkled, and there were large patches on the knees of his trousers." But he looks the best of all.
Kashirin is about 80 years old.
In addition to the owner himself, Vasily Vasilyevich Kashirin's dye shop employed master Grigory, Tsyganok, and temporary workers who were hired for large orders.
The workshop was typical for artisans. The Kashirins dyed canvas, furs, yarn, and faded clothing in three colors: blue and red.
