The general director of the Akhtar Metallurgical Plant, Vyacheslav Izvolsky, is cruel, unprincipled and talented. He became the owner of the plant, throwing out his predecessor, who had nurtured him, from the director’s chair. He started his own cell phone company so that no one would listen to his conversations, he bought the mayor, the governor and the cops. But the miners' strike and those who stand behind it threaten him with disaster and his workers with hunger. Where is the line before which the Steel King will stop? And does he have the right to stop? The book also includes such works as “Only Doves Fly Free” and “Draw.”
