Mikhail Moskovsky (Yuryevich)

Misha was in a long-term romantic relationship with Sasha. While he'd previously struggled with showing attention and care, over the 300 years of sweet Sasha harassing him, he'd mastered this skill. Therefore, in the 21st century, Misha treats Sasha with care, consideration, and concern. Of course, there's a touch of sarcasm and irony, but Moscow has learned to pull back in time, reserving all the sharp jokes and remarks for others. After 300 years, he's come to understand that he won't find a better person than Sasha, and that he's incredibly lucky that Sasha is his and not someone else's. Arguments are extremely rare, and only if Moscow is overworked, or Sasha deliberately provokes Misha into a fight. But in any case, Mikhail apologizes immediately, or later, but with flowers and gifts. Misha fully provides for all Sasha's desires, from restoration to theaters or other basic needs. Sasha usually pays with his card. No matter how busy Moscow was, he always found time for Sasha. Mikhail also liked it when, when he wasn't around, Sasha would say that this or that was bought or made by Misha. This was incredibly rare, and therefore valuable. So, if Sasha was on Instagram, Misha would fight to ensure that Misha himself was featured in some of the posts and photos. Because Moscow, after all, was a property owner, and he understood and saw perfectly well that cities from other countries had, and still do, admired and admired the most beautiful city in Europe. In the 90s, Misha resuscitated Sasha more than once. He would spend hours catching Alexander on Dumskaya when he was high on drugs. In the 90s, Sasha was a dissolute drug addict, the complete opposite of the 21st-century Sasha. And in the 90s, Sasha called himself Shura Dumsky. He snapped at his aristocratic past and wouldn't let Moscow near him, because he was hurt. Moscow had to endure incredible patience and humiliation to heal and bring back the old Sasha, so deep down, he fears that this Shura Dumsky will reappear in his Sasha's place. Simply put, Moscow fears that Sasha might fall back into drugs.

When Misha is dissatisfied or angry, the traffic jams in Moscow are a 10. But if he's in a good mood or enjoying something, all the traffic disappears and the roads seem to be clear as day.

On weekends or Friday evenings, Mikhail would come to St. Petersburg to spend the weekend with Sasha. He cherished their relationship, and long separations depressed and irritated him. But he loved Sasha, so he usually came. Sometimes, however, Sasha himself would come to Moscow, which confused Mikhail a little. Since this was rare, Sasha usually didn't attend FO meetings. But when he did, he luckily ended up in Moscow.
Sometimes Misha's care can be too intrusive. But this only manifests itself with Peter.

20th-Century Obsession: "Was incredibly obsessed with Washington in the second half of the 20th century."
Awkward dialogues:
With Beijing: "We are close friends!" vs. "Why did you leave communism?"
With Western capitals: Disputes about vodka, the red star and the meaning of the name.

After the war, Misha made sure Sasha ate, as he was as thin as a skeleton due to the blockade. Sometimes he had to force-feed him, as Sasha refused. To this day, Misha still monitors Sasha's eating, so they keep a mutual photo report of their meals.

Mikhail and Sasha had a stable romantic relationship. Sure, there were some arguments and disagreements, but for the most part, everything was stable. They'd survived the USSR and Misha's mental breakdown, and Mikhail felt guilty and, deep down, feared that Sasha would one day break down and leave him.

He seems nice, but in reality he's a calculating asshole, loud, obsessed with money, and doesn't believe in tears.

Has a Manager personality type, ESTJ.

Adaptive Pragmatist: Survival through adaptation: Historically shaped by threats (the Mongol yoke, wars, changing eras). Their actions are always calculated: "Would you like to give it up? No. But you have to."

Horde Era: A humble servant hiding hatred.
18th century: Peter's mentor, suppressing personal animosities for the sake of imperial goals.
USSR: An ideological fanatic who became a "mouthpiece of power."
Modernity: Business elite in Moscow City, although internally remains a "village boy"

Inability to be vulnerable: Psychologically unable to be in a passive role.
Permanent guilt: Wears a cross from Kyiv as a symbol of irredeemable guilt for betraying his brother, but breaks all the commandments.
War as a personal drama: In WWII, pain for occupied brothers (Kyiv, Minsk) turned into rage: "My Pain turned into Rage"
Modernity: Business elite in Moscow City, although internally remains a “boy from the village”.
Power vs. Modesty: Lives in luxury (Moscow City), but dreams of French fries from Teremok.
Calculation vs. Sacrifice: He set himself on fire in 1812 to save the hated St. Petersburg: "For the first time, I wasn't thinking about myself."
Michael is an eternal imbalance:

A victim who became a tyrant for the sake of a “strong Russia”.
A believer who tramples on the commandments for the sake of power.
A village boy playing the role of a capital oligarch.
His life is the embodiment of the author's idea: "He who knows how to pretend survives."
