The middle of our century. Russia has long been split into three parts - the Moscow Federation, the Ural Union and the Republic of Siberia. Liberal ideology triumphs in the Moscow Federation, and it is accompanied by persecution of Orthodoxy. The persecution is not the same as in the last century - without executions and prisons. Just social ostracism, prohibitions on profession, juvenile pressure on believing parents... Against this background, a church-political intrigue of the special services unfolds, in the center of which is an ordinary parishioner Alexander. Will he manage not to break? The text is presented in the author's edition.
