The plot is based on the assumption of the existence of another world next to ours, where time has stopped, and therefore death does not exist there. The young heroes, Yegor and Lyusya, get there in the same fabulous way as its other inhabitants, not wanting to go to New Year together with all the other inhabitants of our Earth. They experience incredible adventures in the empire of the Kyiv station and miraculously escape back, using a secret passage between the worlds. The Institute of Expertise and the main character of the first novel “View of the Battle from Heights” Garik are involved in the investigation of the life of that world Gagarin. He learns a lot about the world of dead time and returns safely to the laboratory. But Egor and Lyusya, who find themselves in that world a second time, are forced to stay in it.
