Count Ilya Rostov
Shinshín (also called Peter Nikolávich)
Lieutenant Alphonse Karlovich Berg (German)
Other nameless guests.
Location:
Count Rostov´s drawing room.
The dinner party at the Rostóv´s will soon begin, only they are waiting on the attendance of one Márya Dmítrievna, who is also referred to as le terrible drangon on account of her sharp tongue.
The conversation in the drawing room is based solely around the upcoming war that had been announced in the manifesto, though nobody had actually seen the manifesto.
Shinshín, who is an older gentleman but dressed in a rather young fashion, is questioning Lieutenant Berg about his choice to join the guard instead of the cavalry. Shinshín puts forth that Berg´s career would be furthered more if he were to join the cavalry. Berg responds that he will get paid more being in the guard.
