Naydenov (played by Aleksey Vertkov) is a protagonist in White Tiger.
A Soviet tank driver recovered from a 1943 battlefield with severe burns and retrograde amnesia, Naydenov retains his skills and is given a new name. Selected to command and drive an upgraded T-34, he believes he can communicate with tanks and is convinced that he must destroy the White Tiger, which he regards as a supernatural enemy of the war. Fedotov (played by Vitaly Kishchenko) is a protagonist in White Tiger.
A Soviet counterintelligence major, Fedotov initially investigates Naydenov’s claims about the White Tiger but comes to believe him and helps him pursue the enemy tank. He later argues to his commanding general that the Tiger and Naydenov are creations of the war itself, and after Germany’s surrender tells Naydenov that the war is over. Kryuk (played by Aleksandr Vakhov) appears in White Tiger.
Kryuk is the gunner in the upgraded T-34 crew commanded by Naydenov, with Berdyev serving as loader. During their engagement with the White Tiger in an abandoned village, Kryuk disables its turret, but the crew’s gun becomes jammed with mud before he can finish off the enemy tank, which escapes. General (played by Andrey Myasnikov) appears in White Tiger.
The commanding general hears Fedotov’s argument that the White Tiger and Naydenov are products of the war, but remains unconvinced. He sends Fedotov on a ten-day leave rather than accepting the major’s explanation, serving as an authority figure who does not share Fedotov’s belief about the tank and Naydenov. Berdyev (played by Vitaliy Dordzhiev) appears in White Tiger.
Berdyev serves as the loader in the three-person crew of the upgraded T-34, alongside Naydenov as commander and driver and Kryuk as gunner. He takes part in the crew’s mission to destroy the White Tiger, including the encounter in which the Soviet tank disables the Tiger’s turret but cannot prevent its retreat.
