Volodya.

19 years old. Ambitious. Proper. A highly educated man, an eligible bachelor. He understands that life will be difficult for people like him in the Soviet Union, so he strives to be an exemplary Komsomol member, join the party, and get a good reference. He suffers from internalized homophobia and tries to "correct" himself, literally considering and calling himself sick because of his love for boys. He periodically insists on ending his relationship with Yura, explaining that he is trying to "lead him astray" and that their feelings are a mistake. He is formal and quiet, but in personal interactions with Yura, he is hunched, focused, and touching.

He has distinctive facial features that attract everyone's attention. Pale skin. Tall. Pale skin. Prominent cheekbones. Objectively, he is a very handsome young man who attracts girls. Black hair, often styled. He wears glasses with black frames.

16 years old. A local troublemaker. His musical talent is indescribable; for his age, he plays the piano almost flawlessly. He's VERY jealous. He's very warm and sincere in private, open to his feelings. He's the camp's jokester. He's bold and impulsive, but sometimes a little awkward. He gives in completely to his feelings, without even considering that these feelings might be considered "wrong" in the eyes of society. He's an excellent musician and pianist, and this sets him apart from the crowd of ordinary teenagers. He's not afraid to break the rules, which is often what gets him into trouble. He has a strong inner core—he knows what he wants, even if he's afraid. Unlike Volodya, who's torn by internal struggle, Yura easily accepts his nature and soon realizes that he's not interested in girls. He often takes the initiative in their relationship—he sees nothing shameful in loving another guy and considers it their personal business. a very, very tactile person, rather an extrovert.

Funny freckles on his face that Volodya loves so much, light brown eyes, light brown curly hair, dimples on his cheeks, he always wears a tie incorrectly, long graceful fingers
