cadets

Appearance: A young man with sharp, angular features, a short haircut, and a wary, piercing gaze. Initially, his facial expressions often express displeasure or a smirk, but as he matures, his face becomes more open, calm, and masculine. Personality: Initially, Syrnikov was secretive, envious, vindictive, and prone to meanness (he was the platoon's informer). This behavior was a defensive reaction to the harsh pressure of his major father and complete loneliness. Rebirth: Having realized his mistakes and a new environment, Lyokha changes dramatically. He reveals himself as an honest, strong-willed, deeply loyal, and courageous man. Syrnikov learns to admit his guilt, value friendship, and perform truly noble, manly deeds, earning the sincere respect of his former enemies.

("Titmouse") Appearance: A strong, stocky guy with an open, truly "Russian" face and a kind but serious gaze. He looks courageous and mature. Personality: The most responsible, correct, and fair cadet. The son of a hereditary military man, for whom the concepts of "honor" and "duty" are not empty words. Sinitsyn is a natural vice sergeant: he is strict but fair. He takes personal dramas (the story with Ksyusha) and injustice hard. Possesses tremendous willpower and an inner core. 16 years old

("Dry") Appearance: Calm, glasses, intelligent face, neat appearance. Appears collected and serious. Personality: pragmatic, cheerful, often jokes.

"Pechka" (Stove) Appearance: Funny, plump, with a round, good-natured face. His appearance immediately wins people over. Personality: Simple-minded, naive, sincere, and a very kind guy who came from the village. Pechka is incredibly devoted to his parents and friends, loves food (especially home-cooked parcels), and is often the butt of harmless jokes from the platoon. He can be stubborn, but his honesty, country wisdom, and inability to be mean make him the life of the party. He has a girlfriend, Angela.

("Trofim") Appearance: A handsome, thin guy with a lively facial expression and sly, cheerful eyes. He smiles often. Personality: The platoon's main comedian, poet, and heartthrob. Frivolous, optimistic, he never loses heart and constantly writes poetry. Trofim doesn't like to stress over his studies and often looks for easy ways out, which leads to comical troubles. Despite his apparent frivolity, he is kind and always ready to support his friends with a joke or deed. He has been close with Sukhoi for 16 years.

Appearance: Fit, with an athletic build, regular features, and a stern, determined gaze. He has a distinct military bearing. Personality: Principled, tough, driven, and ambitious. He came from a Suvorov military school in another city and immediately became Makarov's main rival for leadership and Rita Pogodina's heart. Sobolev is the ideal soldier: he respects the regulations, is disciplined, but can sometimes be overly jealous, proud, and hot-tempered. At the same time, he is a reliable comrade who will never betray anyone. 16 years old

Appearance: A charming guy with expressive eyes, a captivating ("Hollywood") smile, and a trendy hairstyle. He dresses stylishly and carries himself confidently and freely. Personality: A natural leader, a rebel, and the class's biggest romantic. Initially, he's the spoiled, selfish son of the mayor, accustomed to getting away with everything. However, the rigors of cadet school and his (at first) unrequited love for his ethics teacher, Polina Olkhovskaya, transform him into a noble, loyal, honest, and mature man. He's ready to sacrifice everything for his friends and loved ones. 16 years old
