To establish trade connections with India was long ago, since the time of Ivan the Terrible, the dream of Russian sovereigns. But on the way to the legendary country they lay anhydrous steppes inhabited by nomads, and a restless Khiva Khanate, the rulers of which did everything to slow down the movement of Russia to the south. Neither agree with the Hivinsky Khans, nor overcome them by force did not succeed. This book is dedicated to stretched for several centuries, complete drama epic, which includes inglorious hiking, diplomatic demarches, spy missions, adventures of single adventurers, shoots of prisoners who wrapped with travels through Polimyr ... Only in the second half of the XIX century, Russian troops took Khiva, but in That time it has already become only an episode in the "big game", as Radyard called Kipling rivalry of the British and Russian Empires in Central Asia. And this is a completely different story
