Our contemporaries in the 19th century. Many textbooks write that in 1838–1840 little happened in Russia. Freethinkers and Decembrists were exiled to Siberia. There is a period of stagnation in art and literature. My heroes find entertainment for themselves in this relatively boring time. They saved Pushkin, who was wounded in a duel. They invented new paint pigments, took part in horse races, and began building a steamship. In general, these are not the most significant events for the country. Everyday life. Exactly the way I like it. Again, I warn readers that this is not an action film. Everything will be quiet, calm and progressing.
