1920. The once huge and rich Siberian region was engulfed by the black blizzard of the Civil War. Devastation and pestilence, hatred and despair fell upon people, turning some into beasts and others into victims. The former horse thief Vaska-Kon - and now Vasily Ivanovich Konev, a veteran of the Great War, commander of a free partisan detachment - by chance meets the brothers of his beloved Toni Shalagina, whom he considered dead at the front. Soon Vasily learns that Tonya was treated at the Novonikolayevsk hospital for typhus some time ago. Having once again found hope of returning his love, Konev begins searching for the girl, despite the fact that other, very determined people are also interested in Shalagina... “Black Snowstorm” is a direct continuation of the already beloved novel “Horse Thief” by readers.
