Walking past a construction site, not bothering anyone. I fell, woke up… Well, nothing special! Around me, unfamiliar people are saying amazing things. What? I’m a cop now? I hate the cops. I even quit military service just to sleep peacefully! Wanted a quiet life? Get—sign on the dotted line!
Outside the window is the Soviet Union of 2023. No Perestroika, no democracy. And with glasnost too, something didn’t really work out. The capitalist West is rotting. Soviet technology is the best in the world. Along the streets drive «Zhiguli» and «Volgas». A bright future has arrived.
Now, if only I could figure it out… Why does all this exist? Why do I remember nothing at all? And where is the Russian Federation with all its downsides?
And it’s also unclear what kind of creep has started hunting me. Me—Major Gromov, an ordinary Soviet cop.
