Ladybug #2

Death is not the end. And for the hero of this book, it’s not just the beginning of a new life—but also a chance to change someone else’s life, turning it completely upside down. Having died in our time, the hero finds himself in 1967, in the Soviet Union, in the body of a mentally disabled young man named Boris Korovka. His guardians long ago seized his property and the money he is owed from the state, and the boy himself has no chances for a decent life. But now everything will change, because inside him there is a person with intelligence, education, and—most importantly—life experience and knowledge of history. Somehow, Boris’s diagnosis is revoked, he goes to serve in the elite border troops of that time, and there, who knows, it’s possible the hero will manage to change not only the fate of one person, but of an entire country.

In the second book, Korovka is discharged into the reserve after receiving the title of Hero of the Soviet Union during his service. Soon he becomes known as a painter, musician, and singer. It would seem—live and enjoy yourself. But knowledge about the country’s future doesn’t let Boris be at peace. Can a grain of sand try to change the course of history, or is it better to stay aside and simply observe what’s happening—securing yourself comfortable living conditions? The details are in the book.
