Political intrigues, passion and hatred, assassinations, the entire power of the state machine falls on two young lovers. Driven to despair, they are ready for anything... These dramatic events take place in the present day and return to the past, for which the main characters pay. The authors of this action-packed book managed to lift the veil of secrecy over the “nuances” of decision-making both in the Kremlin and at the dachas of the Russian elite.
