Valeriya Podorozhnova

Russia, the late 19th century. As the threat of war with Great Britain looms, a mysterious device—a mechanical flea—is discovered within the Imperial Palace. Tasked with investigating the incident is a young officer, Pyotr Ogaryov, who dreams of earning the trust of Tsar Alexander III. In his quest for the truth, he joins forces with Lefty, a brilliant but forgotten master craftsman from Tula. Together, they plunge into a world of intrigue and danger. To uncover a conspiracy, the two heroes must challenge the established order, unravel family secrets, and make a difficult choice between duty and passion. The security of the nation—and their own destinies—hang in the balance.

If you are young and beautiful, if you draw men affection and women jealousy, if you are being courted by two most handsome guys in your college, it is easy to accept an illusion that this world was created just for you. But sooner or later you'd need to make a choice. What is more important - flamboyant gestures or quiet devotion? Strength or care? insistence or ability to forgive?

Four bandits in the late nineties come to knock money out of the debtor, but accidentally fall into the cryocamera and end up in 2022. Phil, Chuck, Whizz and Massa do not immediately realize that during this time Moscow has radically changed, their lifestyle has become very outdated, and people around have a lot of unfamiliar devices and strange habits. The worst thing is that their loved ones have grown older, and now someone will have to rebuild their relationship with their son, who has become his age, and someone will have to win the heart of an already much older girlfriend. Now the four friends must find themselves in a new incomprehensible world and take revenge on their former boss, who sent them to the cryocamera.

The life of Arina Alferova, an official of the regional Ministry of Health, is very prosperous: a nice apartment in the city center, a decent foreign car, morning styling, shopping trips to Moscow, jewelry, expensive shoes. After all, the head of the finance and economics department can afford something. And sometimes even more than that. Especially if your lover does business with the largest pharmaceutical company in the region. What's in return? Put a couple of signatures on the contracts. Carried away by her personal life, she does not notice what each of her signatures is worth. One day, a bitter reckoning will come too close to her — a loved one dies from fake pills. So the official decides to integrate herself into the corrupt chain in order to get to the very top — to the minister — and drown everyone.
