About the book: 2000 / In 1833, Emperor Nicholas I signed a decree approving the song “God Save the Tsar” as the Russian national anthem. There has been no tsar in Russia for almost a hundred years, and Lvov’s melody is heard only in films dedicated to our past, and during the performance of P.I. Tchaikovsky’s “1812” overture. However, a ghost is haunting Russia, the ghost of monarchism. And year after year, from being disembodied, incorporeal, it becomes more and more tangible and visible. The famous Russian science fiction writer Roman Zlotnikov was one of the first to catch these vibes in the air and dedicated his new book to the problem of restoring the monarchy in Russia. Well, we will follow him in the majestic and proud “Prayer of the Russian People,” which will become for us a kind of guide to such a unique and controversial work as the novel “Vivat the Emperor”!».
