About the book: 2017 / World history has taken a different path. The Russian squadron, which reached the shores of Syria at the end of 2012, ended up in 1904 near Chemulpo, where the cruiser Varyag and the gunboat Koreets entered into mortal combat with the Japanese squadron. Sailors from the 21st century entered into battle with the enemy on the side of their ancestors. This intervention and the events that followed it served as an impetus not only for changing the course of the Russo-Japanese War, but also for changing the course of entire world history. Japan was defeated and Britain was humiliated. Russia did not join the Anglo-French alliance, but created the Continental Alliance together with Germany. There was neither the shameful Peace of Portsmouth nor Bloody Sunday. Emigrant Vladimir Ulyanov and fugitive exile Dzhugashvili, together with the new Tsar Mikhail II, are building a new Russia, not yet imagining what it will be like. But, as it seems to them, in this version of history there will be neither the First World War, nor the February, nor the October revolutions.
