Auditor

In one provincial town, word spread of the inspector's imminent arrival for an inspection. All the officials were alarmed: everyone had sinned. Seeing Khlestakov, an official from St. Petersburg, at the hotel, they mistook him for the inspector.

Ivan Aleksandrovich Khlestakov is a young man, 23 years old, holds a lowly rank in the chancery, thin, rather stupid, without a tsar in his head, his thoughts are racing, his speech is abrupt, he is sincere and simple, brown-haired, handsome, dressed in fashion. Gorodnichi Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky advised that all institutions be urgently put in order

Anton Antonovich Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky is the mayor of the district town, a smart man who has aged in service, a bribe-taker, respectable and serious, with coarse facial features, short graying hair, dressed in a uniform with buttonholes and jackboots with spurs.

Having given his instructions, the mayor went to the hotel to inquire about Khlestakov. He couldn't leave the city until he paid for his stay, but he had gambled away his last money, so he asked everyone for between 300 and 1,000 rubles, and of course, everyone gave him some. Khlestakov, realizing he could party for another day, found himself in the garden of the policeman's house, where he became better acquainted with the policeman's daughter, Maria. They fell in love within minutes, but their love was cut short by Maria's mother, Anna Andreyevna. She began flirting with Khlestakov and almost made him fall in love with her, but then he declared that he was madly in love with Maria and was ready to propose, otherwise he would die at his own hands. To this, Anna Andreyevna, of course, said she would give Maria to Khlestakov in marriage.
