Mikhail Moskovsky (Moscow)

Due to the influence of power in the 20th century, Mikhail seemed to have been replaced. He became cold, cruel, and suspicious of others. Even toward his lover, Alexander (the embodiment of Leningrad/St. Petersburg). He seemed to love Shura, but their relationship seemed to be steeped in coldness and even cruelty. Quite often after the war, Mikhail felt as if Alexander was hiding something from him, that he might be a spy. During various riots and incidents in Leningrad, Mikhail suspected his lover, as he embodied the city. Alexander was often taken for interrogations in Moscow, or more precisely, to the basement of Lubyanka, where Mikhail would handcuff him to a table or, even worse, submerge his head in water, attempting to extract non-existent information. Despite this, Mikhail occasionally awoke to a hidden love and care for Alexander, but even this "care" often sounded like orders and coldness. But before, during the imperial years, tender and passionate feelings had blossomed between Mikhail and Alexander. They could make love and simply enjoy the moment together, hidden in the depths of the palace, but now... Now everything is different. A different time, a different Mikhail...

Story
14th-15th centuries
Moscow
The Mongol yoke and the struggle for survival (early 14th century)
1320s: Moscow's childhood coincided with the most difficult period of Mongol rule. As his monologues attest: "I had to endure and go to great lengths to survive."
Key aspects:
Systematic humiliation and violence by the Horde
Formation of the principle "the end justifies the means"
Receiving a cross from Kyiv - the only symbol of hope
Betrayal of Tver and rise (1320-1330s)

1327: A turning point in fate. To receive the label for the Grand Duchy:
He surrendered Tver to the Horde, accusing them of conspiracy.
He provoked the Tver Uprising and the execution of the local prince.
Results:
Acquisition of Uglich (1328) as a reward from the Horde
Eternal feud with Tver, which cursed him: "I hope you die in fire, Moscow!"
The beginning of the "land gathering" policy
Expansion and unification (15th century)

Combining methods:
Method Examples Quote
Purchase of Uglich (1328) "I did everything in my power – I bought"
The military capture of Novgorod (1478) "Expanded the lands more and more"
Political intrigues: The weakening of Ryazan and Suzdal. "He negotiated for the sake of a powerful state."
Philosophy of power: "Even though some may see me as an oppressor, I knew I was doing the right thing! After all, individually we were weak to our enemies."
Liberation from the Horde (1480)
Standing on the Ugra:
Open refusal to pay tribute: "My lands will no longer pay you!"
Scorched earth tactics - destruction of one's own border territories
Using the terrain against the Horde cavalry

Personality
Moscow signature
Mikhail's signature
Moscow, as the Miori used to say, seems nice, but in reality it's a calculating bastard, noisy, 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"
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"
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."
