Many doubt the existence of reincarnation of souls, and the main hero of this book wasn’t an exception. However, his opinion changed when his soul—by the will of higher powers (despite scientific claims)—ended up in the body of his grandfather, who was keeping watch at the engineer Ipatiev’s house in Yekaterinburg on the night of July 16 to 17, 1918. Unlike his grandfather, our hero, armed with a modern view of the situation, did what his ancestor didn’t—he saved the life of Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna. This event became the turning point after which the history of Russia in the 20th century went down a new path.
