Russia also had its own Klondike - with saloons, shootouts and exciting adventures. A movie had not yet been made about him, and Russian boys did not play Cossack gold miners and robbers - Chinese robbers. And in the Far East, where, almost in parallel with the Civil War, a gold rush raged, werewolves, half-humans and taiga sages walked through the taiga, on the surface of the River the dragon Lun, and red partisans, white Cossacks, Japanese occupiers, constantly sparkled with its silver-black back and Chinese troops were all trying to get gold that rightfully did not belong to them. Legends and reality are cleverly woven into a fascinating story. But nothing is over: the story described in “The Tale of the Scarecrow, the Tiger Cap and Little Paris” continues today - after all, there is no time for dragons.
