The Japanese War. 1904

Russian-Japanese war stories are more often told through the prism of naval battles, although at the same time a large-scale campaign was underway on land. There, too, there were their own heroes—and it was on the Mukden road that the people who would later be called upon to lead the White movement first crossed paths, encountering the forerunners of the future world war and the revolution.

And what if a doctor from our time ends up in the early 20th century—in the body of a Russian officer? Not a celebrated brave man, but an unpleasant formalist of the kind that was common in the army. To try to wash away a tarnished reputation, set medicine in order, and perhaps alter the outcome of a couple of battles—then, maybe, the entire balance of forces in Russian Manchuria will go down a different path.
