Mykola bahlai — student-Metallurgist, one of the main characters works, acts as a passionate advocate of truth, seeker of the ideal of moral and spiritual beauty. 

Nicholas is in love with their homes, people, living there, nature, in the Cathedral, which represents all majestic and beautiful, what unites him with the past and the future. This idealistic image of the poet, dreamer. 

He was born during the war in the trenches. First, what he saw and heard, the horrors of war, the bombings. From childhood he was an orphan, his father died in the war, so Nicholas missed him. The guy had a hard postwar childhood. Then I was in school, he worked at the steel plant and studied at the Institute.
