I read several novels on the alternative history of Rus'. Someone is building a metallurgical plant in Smolensk, using imported raw materials from Germany, creating amusing troops, but forgetting that they need to be fed. In general, it’s a shame with the alternative. I decided to improve things a little in this matter... The appropriate location was chosen, several tens of kilometers from the confluence of the Uss and Tura rivers. There will be no need to transport ore from Germany. There is everything except people. And then, how the suit falls. The ninth century AD, no computer, no Stalin, no God, no devil. No, apparently it couldn’t have happened without the participation of devils! Only they could throw a resident of the 21st century into such a wilderness!
