Actor: Dmitry Palamarchuk. Full name: Alexey Leonidovich Fomin. Status: Alive. Occupation: Former crime boss, former "overseer" of St. Petersburg. Best friend: Pavel Semyonov (since childhood).

After the events of Season 7, Foma resigned as "overseer" and moved to a quiet island in Finland with Pasha and Tanya, hoping to start a new life. But without him, St. Petersburg's criminal underworld descended into chaos: the crime bosses clashed over spheres of influence.

Key features: charismatic, charming, well-spoken, stylishly dressed—yet merciless to both his enemies and his subordinates. He's been shot multiple times, but survived each time. A complex antihero, beloved by viewers for his loyalty to friendship and his willingness to protect his own at any cost.

Actor: Anton Vasiliev. First appearance: Season 1, Episode 1. Status: Officially dead, de facto alive. Height: 182 cm, weight: 85 kg. Ranks: Captain → Major → Police Lieutenant Colonel. Birthday: October 12th. Allergic to mushrooms, afraid of injections.

Personal life and past
Pasha's parents were killed by a drug addict when he was a teenager (his father died when Pasha was 15). This motivated him to join the police. He was married to Yulia, with whom he has a son, Sasha. Yulia was arrested for manslaughter; the prison warden blackmailed Pasha, demanding he kill his friend, Foma, in exchange for easing his wife's conditions. Pasha couldn't shoot, saved Foma, and Foma himself killed the warden. Yulia was later released, but died in Season 5. His second wife was Tatyana Belova. His son, Sasha, eventually moved to London to live with his grandfather.

Key points: Pasha is principled, aggressive, and acts before he thinks. He's ready to take justice into his own hands when the system fails. He's repeatedly broken the law out of moral duty. The only female Architect is his wife, Tanya (undercover).

She doesn't believe the accusations against Pasha and confirms his alibi. She marries him and joins the police. She saves her husband from the Lesnik (a powerful figure). Zorin entrusts her with the Architect's case and is wounded. In the end, the Architect seriously wounds her and she falls into a coma.

Season 7 (2024)
He emerges from a coma but is unable to return to duty. Through Coach Lipa, he meets the Chief Architect and gains his trust, later helping Pasha capture him. In the end, he disobeys orders to kill Pasha, helping him escape and kill the Commander. Pasha fakes his own death and flees to an island in Finland with Tanya and Foma. Tanya begins to see visions of her husband, a sign of inner breakdown.

Season 8 (2026)
Her marriage to Pasha is destroyed by lies and risk. After Pasha is fatally wounded and officially declared dead, Tanya refuses to believe he's dead. She hides from the FSB on an island with Foma, possessing secret information that all sides are after. Her main goal is to find the truth about Pavel's fate. The final scene confirms that he is alive.

Character traits
Strong-willed, focused, and quick to think in a crisis, she has sacrificed herself for her husband many times. She is vulnerable and feminine.
