He lives on a peripheral planet, consults for video series, he has a difficult personal life, he is drafted into the army due to a local conflict, fate involves him in complex risky games of the special services. In addition, Andrey would like to become a historian-researcher. And so the supervisor assigns him the topic of his dissertation - an insignificant battle of the 9th Galactic War. As you know, all historians lie a little, but Andrei is confident that he will be able to tell the truth and will not remain silent about events and facts that are not customary to mention. However, with every step he penetrates deeper into secrets, which are unsafe to reveal even half a century after the events. It turns out that the war was not started by crazy dictators, that official historiography incorrectly describes the course and ending of the hostilities. And then events happen, after which Andrei, no matter how much he wants, will not be able to tell the truth. It remains to be recognized that history is unknowable by definition.
