Vadim Belozyortsev, a fourth-year student of the geodesy faculty, decided to go with his classmates on an archaeological dig in Kozelsk. Not so much for the history, but rather because of the girl who was in that group. Yes, he wanted romantic adventures—and got something entirely different. Just like in life: unhappy love, despair, and then a walk off into nowhere. And nowhere turned into another time—into the Time of Troubles. As an extra bonus to the adventures, there were also corpses there.
