He is the family's youngest son, blowing like the wind. As the Komsomol (Youth Branch) leader, he always keeps social solidarity and ideological consciousness high in the village. He runs more to meetings and wall newspapers than to the fields. Caught in the first effects of bringing the war news to the village, he matures suddenly, and his childish excitement gives way to a vengeful, adult seriousness. He is daring enough to risk his life on suicide/partisan missions behind enemy lines. As soon as he turns of military age, he runs to the front secretly so as not to put his remaining family through the pain of a great farewell; leaving behind only a letter, he is buried in eternity in the dark nights of the partisans.
He is the dark-complexioned but ultimately lighter-skinned final surprise that most resembles Tolgonay’s skin and face, and who feels the most naturally gentle to her. He is the spoiled one of the whole family, but also the unshakable workaholic head of the Komsomol organization.
The son most resembling his mother, Tolgonay; unlike his older brothers, he has a lighter complexion, black eyes, and a soft gaze. Instead of high cheekbones, he is a youth with more delicate features that become agile quickly for his age, with an accordion in his hand and hair swept by the wind.
