Modernity: Business elite in Moscow City, although internally remains a "village boy"
Childhood Trauma: Violence from the Golden Horde shaped:
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."
