About the book: 2023 / Summer 1740. St. Petersburg is uneasy. Empress Anna Ioannovna is ill, the doctors fear for her life, which means that the ground is slipping from under the feet of the temporary worker Biron, so he hastily strengthens his own power - he tries to buy those who hesitate with money and rank, and throws enemies, even imaginary ones, into dungeons . Any person, even far from politics, can end up in a fortress due to a false denunciation. And this is what happens to the young nobleman Lvov, who, having escaped from arrest, is forced to become a name, that is, take someone else’s, German, name, but Lvov’s fate still depends entirely on how the struggle for the throne, which will soon become vacant, ends. This is the plot of the novel “Nazvanets”, and a peculiar addition to this story is the story “Kamer-Jungfer”, where the action takes place in the autumn of 1740, after the death of Anna Ioannovna.
