Summary/Abstract: In this article with the use of descriptive-functional and comparative research methods are analyzed and compared with each other the two main characters of the movie Beanpole (2019) by Russian director Kantemir Balagov — young female front-line soldiers Iya and Masha, who are trying to start a peaceful life in post-blockade Leningrad. The image of each heroine is scrutinized through separate categories from the perspective of anthropology and psychology — Appearance, Clothing, Character, Love, Children, Trauma, War and peaceful life. The comparison of completely different yet very close friends allows one to find a parallel in the concept of Chinese philosophy yin and yang and subject the characters to the first such typology in the scientific literature. Besides, the analysis helps to draw some conclusions regarding the present and future of the heroines: post-war life sometimes appears to be more difficult to front-line soldiers than the military one.
