Some people dream of getting a new life and starting it differently, but in reality not everyone wants this. This is exactly what the main character of this story, Alexander Polyakov, was, but Fate decided everything for him. New life, new family and even greater responsibility. Much bigger. After all, he ended up in 1941. True, in January, but that doesn’t make it any better. Leningrad region, surroundings of Lake Peipus and afterlife. So there is a choice: leave the new family to perish or, wheezing from effort, pull it out of this trouble? This is very difficult, especially when the new body is not even twelve years old. But responsibility, character, and most importantly, the will with perseverance to win remained with Sashka.
