The events of OUTGATE take place in the epoch-making year of 1991. The great and powerful empire called the Soviet Union is bursting at the seams, torn apart by internal contradictions. Nothing can be reversed, and people once again look with hope into the foggy future, not realizing that the USSR has become a battlefield for the intelligence services of many countries. He is the son of his country, the son of his time, a child born of the System. He is one of the few, a deeply secret intelligence agent who carries out special assignments. Living legend. His operational pseudonym is Alex. By the will of his leadership, finding himself drawn into political intrigue and immersed in the very abyss of the disturbing events of August 1991, he is forced to come face to face with popular unity and indignation, loyalty and betrayal, feeling how his own worldview is changing. And when the System suddenly abandons him, and the ideals in which he sacredly believed are overthrown, Alex has only one thing left - to enter into a game with an unknown grandmaster, in which the stake is only life... his own life.
