Volume five of the “Civilizer in the USSR” cycle. A new general secretary is at the helm—same course as before, but even more cautious: a few limited micro-transformations and a minimum of decisiveness. Will history once again go in circles? For the one who is living this life a second time, there’s mostly nothing to do but observe from the sidelines, combining ordinary teenage worries with a very real job of a young programming genius. Now all he has power over is his own fate.
