Poets and writers

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin:
A bright, temperamental and witty man, he combined passion and vulnerability, audacity and a subtle sense of beauty, and also inexhaustible creative energy.
Among his fears, the most prominent were the fear of public disgrace and loss of honor, a premonition of an early death (although he pretended not to be affected by the prophecies, and even made fun of them, he soon became anxious) and the inability to support his family.
Weaknesses: gambling, irascibility, frequent mood swings, instability, falling in love)

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol:
A contradictory, deeply religious person, he combined a sharp satirical view and a penchant for mysticism, a subtle sense of humor and painful anxiety, a striving for the ideal and agonizing doubts about his path.
Fears: the main one is being buried alive, being a failed person, anxiety about health and death.
Weaknesses: A habit of eccentric rituals (for example, he rolled bread balls to concentrate, or walked down the street only from a certain side—these small rituals helped him cope with anxiety), dependence on the opinions of others and a morbid pride (despite his outward bravado and practical jokes, Gogol reacted sharply to coldness or disapproval from loved ones and influential people), suspiciousness and a tendency toward introspection.
These two characters are on good terms, Gogol admires Pushkin.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky: despite his rough exterior, he is an internally vulnerable, sensitive person. A romantic. Surprisingly, Mayakovsky didn't like fights, but most of all, the poet hated gossip. He is very fastidious, afraid of infections, and very clean. To the point of insanity, he carries soap with him, opens the door only through a napkin, and did not like/avoided handshakes. Because in childhood, when the boy was 13 years old, his father died of blood poisoning. He has a rough appearance, brown eyes, dark eyebrows, dark brown hair, even almost black, 189 cm tall, a narrow nose, and a lower lip that curved slightly to the left when talking. He finished only 5 classes, and then problems began. Due to the death of his father, it was difficult for his mother to provide for three children. Mayakovsky had two sisters, he was the middle child in the family. Therefore, he allowed spelling and punctuation errors in writing.

Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin:
Yesenin's character was impulsive, vulnerable, and highly emotional: he alternately exulted and despaired, keenly aware of change, and grieved the loss of his familiar village world. The fears that most frequently surface in his poetry and life are those of losing his roots, the disintegration of his native Rus', loneliness, and inner emptiness—as if everything dear to him were disappearing. He was addicted to alcohol and flighty in relationships. Utterly unreliable.
There are no romantic feelings between the poets. There is friendship, even contempt, and even teasing.
