Uncle Boljedor

Sociable and willful. Slava's mother's cousin. Police captain, deputy department head, and respected by his colleagues. Fifteen years ago, he accidentally cut himself with a knife while on duty—ever since then, he tells his favorite story about his "battle wound."

Since childhood, he dreamed of becoming like Uncle Styopa the Militsioner, often getting into fights and conflicts. He believes that "the best upbringing for a man is to live like a wild man for a week." Rumor has it that Boljedor's son, Ivan, even experienced this upbringing. In reality, little Vanya only saw the forest from the windows of sanatoriums and health resorts, which he visited on state-funded vouchers.
