Continuation of “Not the main one, Not the hero.” Just in case, I’ll say it again - the whole story is made up, the coincidences are random. From the author: Once I was traveling on a regular bus from the outback to MSC. There they put on some kind of TV series, usually for watching. And one woman persuaded me to put up my flash with “Capercaillie”. The driver said that everyone had already watched it, he asked in the salon, no one cared, especially since the alternative was melodramas for those over 60. Well, I saw several episodes of Capercaillie 3. The series itself ended a long time ago, I had not watched it before. When I returned home and started watching from the very beginning. And I became a kind of late fan of the already past and closed series. In one of the episodes, I realized that for me personally, GG is no longer Capercaillie, but Karpov. Next, of course, I watched Karpov, in the series Karpov. But Karpov in Karpov is not Karpov in Glukhara, but a pathetic piece of work. I wanted to write fanfic. But after thinking about it, I decided to write a prequel; in the series it flashes that Karpov graduated from police school. Having started work, I realized - what the heck! It’s easier to paint your own story than to fit into an already defined framework. This is partly how this idea came about.
