The Favorite. Boyar

What bad luck for our contemporary Ivan Rogozin, a middle-aged man, to find himself at the end of an alternative seventeenth century! On the one hand, he seems to have regained his youth, and now he is not over forty but only twenty-two. And all his baggage of knowledge and experience has stayed with him. The prospects of a comfortable life are quite real. But on the other hand, on the shoulders of Ivan Karpov, as the time traveler is now called, lies a streltsy caftan, and he himself is in lifelong service to the sovereign. And he is tossed from the Urals to Crimea… How could it be otherwise, from now on his lot is fire and the fumes of battle until the end of his days. Yet life pulls another trick. And now he is already in the thick of an intrigue whose goal is nothing less than the bloodless annexation of the free land of Pskov to the Russian state. Interesting? Ivan, to be honest, is already tired of it.
