... He managed to be the secret weapon of the Reich, the French battle cruiser Strasbourg, and even some kind of Japanese monkfish that attacked the Japanese fleet in general and the battleship Yamato in particular in the Coral Sea. All that remained from him were the guesses of Alan Turing, who had retrained as an intelligence officer, and the formidable nickname “Geronimo”. The heavy nuclear missile cruiser "Kirov" galloped a lot through the era of World War II and even managed to visit the post-apocalyptic future provoked by its actions. And here is his fearless crew, namely the conscientious Admiral Leonid Volsky, the former drinking manager of Gazprom, Captain Vladimir Karpov, who learned to walk over corpses according to Dostoevsky, and now repentant and does not listen to Radio Radonezh only because in 1942 he was not yet there It was, the good doctor Dimitri Zolkin, the commander of the Marine Corps group, the severe Buryat Kandemir Troyak, as well as other sirs, chiefs, misters and gentlemen, finally seemed to understand that the problem was a defective reactor control rod.

Now he is wandering around the Spanish taverns of 1942, but there will be more... And we must not forget that despite the fact that the Chinese are already settling in Vladivostok with might and main, it is still a damned country. And therefore, upon arrival, the crew of the Kirov receives the most unpleasant news - an auditor is coming to them, who really wants to know where the Kirov has been rummaging around this month, why its aft bridge was apparently demolished by a bomb attack, and where almost all the ammunition, including the nuclear warhead, went . Well, in what other country is this possible? Barbaric, barbaric Russia, where your life is not worth a penny, and the merciless winter takes away everyone who was not taken by the bloody KGB...
