For all of his conscious life, Sergey worked—work for the sake of work filled all of his life’s space. And once again, fate hinted that it was time to change something—no, everything! So he decided to бросить it all and move to an old little house somewhere deep in the wild taiga… But a catastrophe on a planetary scale shatters all his hopes. Well, he’s strong and strong-willed. He’ll build his new world from the fragments of the old one, he’ll save and protect the people who trusted him, and he’ll survive. And Sergey has to manage—it’s simply his duty—because some of the friends he finds in this new world gave their lives for the future.
