Guardsman

In the yard is the summer of 1735. "Bironism" is a terrible time for the country. People disappear at night, the hole and hot ticks of the executioner in the secret office do not know rest. The vague period on the eve of the Russo -Turkish war, when a clever and entrepreneurial person with a sword and a gun can abruptly change his fate - and the fate of the country. Courland Baron Dietrich von Hofen, who decided to try his luck in the Barbar and Wild Muscovy, is ready to take his head and pass any tests to prevent the palace coup "Dachshi Petrova" - Blessed Elizabeth. Here and now, on the sturdy shores of the young imperial capital, in the light of mocking lamps, in the ballroom halls of the palaces and in stuffy taverns, the new future of Russia, a new future of the whole world, is boiled. If you are a real guardsman and do not know how to retreat - take fate by the throat and turn the flywheel of history!
