Believe this: those who have gone, but remain in memory, have not disappeared—they have simply found themselves in another, parallel world, where the gloomy skies of Petersburg give way to scorching expanses of Turkestan and the white peaks of the Pamirs. Give yourself—and them—this hope: allow yourself to think that somewhere out there, under another sun, their journey continues. This novel makes it possible to feel again, close by, those whom war took away, but could not wrench from the heart.

With full right, it can be said here: dedicated to those who did not return from battles, missions, flights, and marches. Sailors and infantrymen, tank crews and artillerymen, sappers—and many, many others: the military specialties in our army are countless. But not only them. In wartime, civilians—non-combatants—also die, and this story concerns them as well. Let each of the departed have yet another chance to live a life. Let loved ones believe that somewhere there, in another, parallel world, the dear people to them continue to live.

The unfriendly sky of Russia’s Northern capital is left behind. Ahead lie the scorching expanses of Turkestan, the sun-dried, cracked earth, and snow-covered peaks of the Pamirs.
