Sergei Boguslavsky works not only to find his place in a new world, but also does everything possible to prevent a coup and the ensuing civil war that plunges Russia into chaos.
After the signing of a separate peace with Germany, he will have to do more than defend himself—he must protect the life of the Russian emperor. Creating a new punitive body based on the gendarmerie, he will destroy the opposition in the country, prevent a number of attempts on the sovereign’s life, and force the people to believe that there are no longer any untouchables for Russian justice—proving this through dozens of criminal proceedings against wealthy and noble members of Russian society.
For his harshness and persistence in persecuting the state’s internal enemies and for defending the throne, Sergei Boguslavsky will receive the nickname "The Chain Dog of Autocracy," and he will be quite proud of it.
