Two years of the First World War are behind us—war that our contemporary, Lieutenant of the Airborne Forces (VDV) Maxim Baranov, managed to change beyond recognition. A wild raid across East Prussia. An assault on Berlin. The defense of Szczecin. The capture of Rome. A counter tank battle near Florence. This is already a completely different war… and a different world…
However, the point hasn’t been put yet. A coup has taken place in Russia. The royal family has been killed. A Provisional Government led by Kerensky has been established. A Zemsky Sobor is convened to determine Russia’s path of development.
History is relentlessly trying to return to its tracks and follow the planned route.
Our hero wants to stay out of it. But it doesn’t work—he has become too prominent on the political stage, and he is inevitably pulled into the maelstrom of looming Civil War upheavals. Will “Mad Max” be able to prevent it, save Russia from great upheavals? Will he be able to preserve the Empire?
