The second book of the well-known trilogy by Alexei Cherkasov and Polina Moskvitina tells the events taking place during the Civil War in Krasnoyarsk and in the Yenisei Governorate.
At the center of the narrative is the figure of Noah the Leech—Red Horse—who, in his social development, reflected the spontaneous popular self-awareness of the era when the old society was breaking apart.
