The snowy expanses of the Arctic are a rich land, hiding in its depths many valuable minerals, and at the same time a tasty morsel for any country. Russians and Norwegians have long lived here peacefully and collaborated. But the Americans decided to pit Norway and Russia against each other by staging an insidious provocation. After killing two Russian explorers, they then shoot two polar bears, which the Norwegians cherish as an amazing natural wonder. International conflict is almost inevitable. Two GRU officers, Alexander Pervushin and Anton Krivtsov, were entrusted with figuring everything out, exposing the provocateurs and preventing hostility with the Norwegians.
