Parallel world or another planet? Andrei Novak, our contemporary, who found himself in the world of the Middle Ages, where the descendants of immigrants from Jerusalem settled, asked this question more than once or twice, but never found an answer. Why does he need this in the grand scheme of things? He managed to survive, become a very wealthy member of society, and start a family. Live and be happy. However, fate leads him through life, guided by its own goals, known only to it. The pensioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs managed to settle down in this world, but he did not succeed in living a quiet existence. Persecution by the Inquisition, bloody battles with nomads and a constant struggle for life. That, perhaps, is all that is prepared for him from above.
