There are many significant changes in the new edition of the novel THE RULER OF THE EMPIRE. So significant that it gives the impression that this is another work in front of you. There are different heroes, different storylines unfold, and real presidents and prime ministers make history. And all this is the result of the abolition of centuries-old censorship, which - fulfilling the will of monarchs and secretaries general - “fruitfully” distorted novels and poems, verses and stories. It distorted the soul of the nation. Her perception of herself, her neighbors - near and far. Of course, if, for example, instead of US Senator Frank Openhearts (1987 edition), President John F. Kennedy acts in similar situations, as originally intended, and instead of President Istardia Dadhan - Prime Minister -Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru, other historical associations, and other collisions, intrigues, cunning schemes from seemingly innocent and simple-minded statements, actions, steps arise in the reader’s mind.
