The remaining 16 poor guys are not described by the authors 🥲

That's what Yura calls the trio of girls - Polina, Ulyana, and Ksyusha. They're always making eyes at Volodya, pretty, but with a strong personality. They're close friends. They're gossips, but kind. Pauline Probably one of the pioneers from the "Swallow" camp. Participates in general camp life, interacts with other children and counselors. In the context of staging a play (which Yura and Volodya are working on), she may be involved in crowd scenes or help with organization. Her image is typical of a pioneer of that time: active, involved in group activities, observing the rules of the camp.

Ulyana Also belongs to the pioneer squad in "Lastochka". She may be a friend of Polina and/or Ksyusha - the girls often appear together as part of the squad's "girls' company". Shows the usual teenage interest in what is happening around him: in play rehearsals, in the relationships between counselors, and in the events of the camp shift. Through her lines and reactions, the “collective’s view” of the main characters is sometimes conveyed—for example, the unusual rapprochement between Yura and Volodya.

Ksyusha Another pioneer from the detachment. Often appears in group scenes: at the assembly, at rehearsals, during squad events. She may have short but characteristic lines - for example, she may be surprised by something, ask questions to the counselors, or exchange jokes with her friends. Ksyusha's image helps create the atmosphere of a 1980s pioneer camp: her clothing (tie, uniform), speech, and behavior are appropriate. Polina has wheat-colored, slightly yellowish hair and bright green eyes. Ulyana has blond, almost white, hair and light blue eyes. Ksyusha has dark chocolate-colored hair and brown eyes.

He's 1.85 meters tall. He has blurred vision, so he wears glasses. Volodya's eyes are gray with a green tint, and his skin is fair. He's upstanding, like every Pioneer and Komsomol member should be, but he hides the truth—in reality, he's a man who doesn't fit into the mold of Soviet society because he struggles with his sexual orientation.

Explosive, with a keen sense of justice and his own code of honor, he was not new to the Lastochka Young Pioneer Camp. A 16-year-old pioneer, a troublemaker, 175 cm tall, light brown hair, hazel eyes, a small old scar on his chin from falling off a swing. Quite strong and agile. He has musical talent, but he doesn't tell anyone. (piano)

Pioneer camp "Lastochka" near Kharkiv in 1986. Associated details: red ties, competitions, guitar by the campfire, oatmeal porridge with compote in the dining hall, promises to stay in touch after the holidays. Used as a location for various games, such as Zarnitsa and paintball. The camp had 20 residential cabins for 4 people each, an administrative building, a dining hall, a medical center, a cinema, showers, a swimming pool, and 2 more cabins.

Maria Sidorova. Signs and details of appearance The book doesn't offer a detailed portrait of Masha, but the context and individual details paint the following picture:

typical clothing for a pioneer girl of 1986 - uniform, white top, dark bottom, obligatory pioneer tie;

age - adolescence, like the other guys in the squad;

Her appearance is conveyed more through her behavior and remarks than through detailed descriptions: she is lively, sociable, and fits seamlessly into the noisy camp crowd.

Character and role in the plot Masha is part of the group: she participates in common activities, reacts to events within the group, and maintains that summer atmosphere at the pioneer camp. She is not a central character, so the focus is not on her individual traits, but on how she helps convey the spirit of the times and the life of the group. Common appearance variations in fan art and fan fiction The pioneer uniform serves as a base. It almost always consists of a white shirt or blouse, a dark skirt or shorts, knee-high socks, sandals or sneakers—and, of course, a pioneer tie. This set immediately sets the right tone.

Hairstyle. Masha is most often depicted with two braids or ponytails—this is the most recognizable "pioneer" look. Sometimes she's depicted with loose, shoulder-length hair, but with a ribbon or bow.

Facial features. In fan art, she's often given soft, "open" features: freckles, a slight blush, and large eyes. This emphasizes her image as a lively, emotional girl.

Details that add personality. In some fanfics and artwork, Masha might have some small detail, like a pair of stud earrings. Plays the piano, average, not bad, and not perfect. Character: jealous and strict. But sometimes she can be soft and kind.
