The Motherland expects deeds from its sons, even if they are not ready to carry them out. When Kolya Osipov, a simple guy from Russia’s deep province, decided to connect his life with the army, he couldn’t imagine that he would have to serve in military intelligence and work on the territory of neighboring countries.

World War II created many surprising twists in international diplomacy. The secret negotiations of the Nazis with Britain and America about opening a second front against the USSR, the attempt to conclude a separate peace between Soviet Russia and Hitler’s Germany in the middle of the war, the creation by the Germans of the state of Israel in defiance of the British, who had occupied Palestine—history could have gone a different way in the fateful forties if leaders of the warring powers had made different decisions. And so Soviet intelligence lieutenant Osipov and his colleague from another trench, Oberleutnant von Goetz, ended up right at the edge of political struggle—and without even realizing it, they interfered in World History.
