This world is very similar to ours. There is television and nuclear energy, cars and airplanes, Russia and America. But the United States is a third-rate power here, mired in its own problems, while Russia is freely spread over three continents, from Warsaw to the snows of Alaska and from Arkhangelsk to Port Arthur. And at the head of the largest and strongest state on Earth is not the president or even the general secretary, but the Emperor and Autocrat of All Russia... A sweet dream of a patriot-monarchist, isn’t it? But not everyone is satisfied with the current state of affairs. Of course, the Empire has dangerous enemies, and therefore in this world there will always be work for the special agent of the Third Directorate Sergei Shcherbakov and his faithful partner Andrzej Zabrocki!
