A man from our modern times is thrown into the past, into the body of Nicholas II at the moment of the attack on him in Japan. Can he turn history around and save Russia from revolution and civil war? An attempt to write my own version of how it might have been. To introduce the oprichnina as under Ivan the Terrible? A secret state police? Abolish the nobility? Give land to peasants—or unite them into collective farms? Issue vouchers and nationalize everything? The book is published without editing. A series of books is planned, with revisions after the entire series is written.
