Ivan's character

Ivan does not like it when someone, even the closest person, tries to invade his inner, secret world. For him, such encroachments are akin to a threat, almost like a declaration of war, so in those cases when he does not want to share problems and talk about what torments him, one cannot demand sincerity from him.

Ivan as a breadwinner is the best of men. The welfare of the family is in the first place for him, he will never allow his wife and children to need anything.
In relations with their loved ones, Ivans are usually dry and restrained, but their hearts are overflowing with feelings that they do not like to show, considering this a manifestation of weakness.
