Ataman Platov. Krasnov P.N.

Two historical novels included in this book are connected by an invisible thread of times. Ataman Platov, who, in his youth, led the legendary campaign to India, interrupted by the death of Emperor Paul I, went down in history as the Hero of the Patriotic War of 1812. The name of the chieftain, courage, military skill and luck were horrified by opponents.

Hero of the novel Vasily Nikolaevich Birkin-a veteran of the Russian-Japanese war-is not looking for a calm life, but is recorded by a volunteer in the 2nd Caucasian sapper regiment and goes to serve in the passions of Tiflis, where the bloody flywheel of the revolution is gaining move. < /p>
