Rainbow and heather

The Poles called this city in the east of the Commonwealth. And the Russians are a fortress in the West of their kingdom. The East and the West converge here. In the spring of 1632, young gentry Nikolaus Vrzhosek came here. And in February 2015 - Moscow wedding photographer Pavel Kostochkin. Both of them peer into the outline of the castle-fortress. What awaits them here? Love awaits both: one - to the granddaughter of an icon painter and herbalist, the other - to someone else"s bride. And of course, battles and adventures on the streets of Smolensk, in snowy fields and impassable forests. Two private stories, interwoven, throw bright flashes, which are already not a private history - the history of the country. And the legendary chronicle of Radzili, most likely created in Smolensk and acquired by the heroes of the novel, makes it possible to feel the breath of even more distant times, because it is not for nothing that its miniatures are called windows to the world of Ancient Russia. Well, the windows in the world of modernity are still black and white photos of Pavel Kostochkin. And the features of that unforgettable Russia also appear in them.
