“A man who ended up in the body of Emperor Alexander III” seizes the British question for the final solution. First he conquers Constantinople from the Turks and raises a православний cross on Holy Sophia; then, following Stalin’s example, he purges the state apparatus and tests the newest weapon in local wars.
