A new novel from the author of the bestseller “Dobrynya Nikitich”! A historical action film about the famous governor of Ancient Rus', without whom Prince Vladimir would not have won the struggle for power and would not have become the Baptist and the Saint. It was Dobrynya who played a key role in establishing the new faith. It was he who “overthrew idols” and forcefully forced the people to accept Christianity, and “he treated the stubborn pagans who did not want to give up the primordial gods to reproach as if they were enemies.” It is said about him in the chronicles that “blood and tears flowed” when Dobrynya “baptized Rus' with fire and sword”... But even this Bloody Baptism could not denigrate him in the eyes of his descendants - just as Prince Vladimir remained in the people’s memory as the Red Sun, so Voivode Dobrynya turned into the legendary hero of Russian epics Dobrynya Nikitich.
