Darkness over Petrograd. Alexandrova N.

Paris. A city where thousands of Russian emigrants finally found a refuge. But in France, nobody cares about their fate. Here, the counts and princes are forced to serve as chauffeurs and waiters, and their sisters and daughter - to sing in nightly tales or look for wealthy patrons. Among the horrors of Red Russia, Boris Ordyntsev also turned out to be. His life has lost its meaning, and the money ended - and then Colonel Goretsky makes a new tempting proposal. Boris has to take a chance - to secretly penetrate the former homeland and take out from there the young relative of the Grand Duke Sasha. Of course, in case of good luck, they will pay well. But from the very arrival of Ordyntsev in Petrograd, events take a completely unexpected turn.
