For more than twenty years of service in the state security agencies, Oleg Vasilyevich Kustov did not save money and did not rise to high ranks. The only thing he knows how to do is defend his homeland from enemies. Both external and internal. As a result of a strange experiment, Kustov was transported to 1918 and ended up in the body of Vladimir Aksenov, a graduate of a teacher’s seminary, a twenty-year veteran of the First World War, serving as a journalist in a provincial newspaper. However, as you know, there are no former security officers. Therefore, Kustov-Aksenov does not stay with journalists for long. He enlists in the Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Profiteering. Having become a security officer, he understands that enemies remain enemies, no matter what skin they are dressed in, and the true Cheka is not at all like the “bloody machine” that the liberal media wrote about. The book is recommended for reading for people over 16 years old.
