Young science fiction writers from Belarus Andrei Novokorpusov (pseudonym Andrei Biverov) and Nikita Sychev (pseudonym Nikita Somov) offer their own version of saving civilization after the death of humanity in a nuclear war...

So, given:

1. On the calendar October 15, 1863 according to the old style.

2. In the body of Tsarevich Nicholas - a “misfit” from our time.

3. A notebook diary containing all the knowledge of humanity.

Required:

Rewrite the history of earthly civilization, preventing a repetition of the nuclear tragedy in the future...

In our reality, the eldest son of Alexander The second Tsarevich Nicholas died of tuberculosis, without becoming the thirteenth Emperor of Russia. In this fantasy novel, he not only survived, but also ascended to the throne thanks to a “misfit” from the 21st century, who took possession of his bodily shell.

How a “misfit” can overcome the “diseases” of the Russian Empire and cleanse Russia of the enemies of the people , terrorists and separatists? Who can we rely on in the fight against the court camarilla and the bureaucratic mafia, so that in future the question “How are things in Russia?” They answered not “They are stealing!”, but “They are imprisoning embezzlers”? How to carry out an industrial revolution instead of a social revolution? Will it be possible to attract the genius of Dostoevsky and Leskov to the service of the Throne in order to “burn out with a verb” the liberal infection, turning the Russian intelligentsia from a “g...nation” into its “mind, honor and conscience”?

Will the Thirteenth Emperor be able to “retake the history exam” and destroy the “black magic of numbers” by making the number 13 in your title, the “devil’s dozen,” a lucky number for Russia?

Put yourself in the place of a “misfit” called upon to rewrite history. He must know a lot, he must be able to do a lot, but, most importantly, he must remember - you can become a truly great Sovereign only by mastering the main royal wisdom; “A rebellion cannot end in success - otherwise it is called differently”...

On the throne, a “fallen” from the future, who became the Thirteenth Emperor of Russia Nicholas, has already done a lot. The country is experiencing a rapid economic boom, thanks to knowledge from the future, suggested to the “misfit” by his laptop diary, Russian science is “ahead of the rest of the planet.”

Unfortunately, not everything is so smooth for the Emperor - with the direct support of England a conspiracy has matured in the country. A conspiracy against Nicholas, against his reforms, against a renewed Russia...

But let hired killers and aristocratic conspirators, Polish rebels and Caucasian bandits, London and Istanbul unite against young Nicholas - he must lead the Empire out of crisis and conquer The Fatherland has a bright past. God Save the Tsar!
