the Pyzhov family

Vovik Vagin, Yulia's husband, works in retail. At some point, he becomes Viktor Vasilyevich's "favorite son-in-law," sparking a new rivalry. There's a twist from the past: Vovik had a sham marriage that had to be resolved.

Pasha is Lena's husband, a car mechanic. He's handy, and Viktor Vasilyevich respects him. He and Lena go through various stages of life, including crises, but he's often overprotective, which leads to arguments.

Yulia Pyzhova is the youngest daughter. She's the complete opposite of her sister: bright and creative, but sometimes acts rashly, giving in to her emotions. She dislikes work and tends to live one day at a time. Her relationship with Vovik isn't all smooth sailing either: sometimes her impulsiveness leads to conflicts.

Lena Pyzhova is the eldest daughter. Responsible, organized, and "proper." She built a career in banking. While she strives for success and demands the same from others, her perfectionism sometimes leads to conflicts. Her relationship with Pasha is complicated: her career ambitions clash with her desire to have children.

Natalya Nikolaevna Pyzhova, Viktor's wife, is a teacher at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (holding the rank of police lieutenant colonel). She is bright, spirited, goal-oriented, and fair. She often has the final say in the family. While she can be gentle with her husband, she firmly discourages his attempts to drink.

Viktor Vasilyevich Pyzhov, Natalya Nikolaevna's husband, is a former employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. He is straightforward and courageous, but sometimes overestimates his abilities. He enjoys fishing and enjoying active recreation with friends and family. However, he often finds himself under his wife's thumb.
