The historical novel “Wanderers” is dedicated to the Russian religious schism, which divided the entire society into two irreconcilable sides. Vladimir Lichutin, for the first time in today's literature, deeply and comprehensively explores this strange otherworldly and real world, this national drama that befell Rus' in the 17th century and accompanies the Russian people to this day, confirming the gospel commandment: “Every kingdom divided against itself will not stand.”

The novel is full of picturesque pictures of Russian life, rituals, national customs, already half-forgotten now - that true poetry that adorns our lives. If in the first book the heroes are characterized only by carnal, everyday passions, then in the second book they, having left their homes, set off across Rus' to comprehend the meaning of Orthodoxy and find the blessed and mysterious Belovodye, this promised land. The heroes of the novel experience the most incredible adventures, go through all the circles of earthly hell in order to finally find spiritual grace and peace in their souls.
