Irina Shishkova (Natalia Tereshkova)


A kind and relatively intelligent girl. Since she was five years old, she has been seriously involved in folkloric dance, which sometimes makes her a target of ridicule, as some people consider folkloric dances not prestigious enough to participate in. She has a friendly character; nicknames and gossip don’t stick to her. She studies at an average level, but because she performs at all school events, she is successfully promoted from class to class. Disadvantages: she does not have her own opinion, either at school or in her personal life. She always follows the team's leadership out of herd mentality. She stopped dancing after the scandal with Shutov. She lost her virginity to him, and after that, Shutov left her. After breaking up with Shutov, she returns to dancing.


Darya Kharitonova (Larisa Nabatova)


The "second beauty" of the class, Olga Budilova's best friend. She really wants to be like her and become the "first." In the future, their friendship amounts to nothing, largely due to Budilova's envy of Dasha's new appearance and popularity, "brought" from her vacation at a resort. She has a crush on Sergei Korolev, but she doesn't show it. Unlike Olga, she interacts with all the kids in the class. Despite a certain quarrel, she is kinder than her friend. In the final episode, she will be transferred to the another school.


Dmitri Goryaev (Serguei Ovchinnikov)


In my opinion (and I think a lot of the people that watched the series will agree with me), Goryaev is by far one of the worst characters. Usually, all of the characters have done good stuff and bad stuff, but that's not the case with Dima. He's such a nasty character (especially in the episodes that take place in the school trip to Súzdal) and he's Shishkova's neighbour and it's really weird how Irina's parents think he's such a gentleman. He's friends with Shutov, at least at the beginning and aspires to join the popular group at class. It's impressive how, towards the end he starts dating Lana Vinogradova and his personality kind of changes, but still he's such an awful person.


Sonya Kashtanskaya (Nadezhda Ivanova)


Sonya is one of the sweetest characters of the series. She's really into poetry and literature and even tho she doesn't belong in any group, she's always kind. Classmates laugh at her because she picks her nose due to an alergy problem and they also bully her for her appereance and clothes. I don't know why, but Isaev is specially rude to her and they even fight in the middle of a class. She dates Kostya for a brief time, at the beginning everything was okay, but when Isaev steals her intimate diary and reads it out loud in front of, it's revealed that she no longer thinks work between her and Kostya. They break up, with Kostya gets really violent about it and even hits her. Then, Timur and Sonya start dating and even tho, the relationship works, Timur thinks Sonya actually deserved being hit by Kostya.


Vladimir Falikov (Anton Chechevichkyn)


Vovets Falikov stands out because he has a very defined personal style that has earned him cruel mockery from his classmates. Everyone laughs at him, even Epifanov and since he has long hair and wears colourful clothes, Korolev usually tease him that he's gay, but Falikov's not affect by these comments. Actually I'm pretty sure that is implied that he has a crush on Natalya Nikolaevna or at least sees her as some kind of motherly figure, because he gets kind of jealous that Dasha becomes Natalya's closest student. He likes fashion, music (he aspires to be a musician and even tho is not actually showed in the series, he plays the drums in a band) and movies like Elephant by Gus Van Sant. We don't know much about his family background and he listens to 'audio drugs', actually there's like a minor plot line where he sells drugs at school, but it's not very relevant. Although he orbits the popular group, he has no close friends at school. At the school trip, he gets brutally beaten in a disco and Isaev helps him to go back at the hotel. Vovets is my favourite character, so I don't think I'm being objective here, I mean he could be such an asshole sometimes, he has a very cruel sense of humor, but is still my favourite.
