Just a year ago, the hero of Vladimir Vlasov’s novel “Monomakh in Action,” Major Sergei Tolokonnikov, known by the nickname Monomakh, commander of the legendary “Smerch” detachment, never thought that he would ever remember the months of war with disgust, as if a funeral enemy. There were rumors about Monomakh that he, a former professional killer who served in the secret department of the FSB, had been tested in hot spots of the world and in Chechnya... But rumors and speculation always pale in the face of cruel reality. The novel “Monomakh in Action” continues the super series about Monomakh by the talented writer Vladimir Vlasov.
