Elbecomes intimate with the daughter of a prominent dissident scientist and is torn between loyalty to the System and ideals of freedom. On special assignments, he crosses paths with a mysterious environmental activist girl from the northern regions, with whom he once had a relationship.

* AnachronismStew: The year on the calendar is 1988. The Confederation of Socialist Republics, in its structure and the presence of camps, is reminiscent of both the Stalin and Brezhnev eras, and the ideas of world revolution - the early Soviet regime. Everyday life is also similar to Khrushchev's Thaw, and partly to modernity. In the field of information technology and communications, it looks like the early to mid-nineties (mobile phones in cars, pagers, Pentium-1 level computers and the Internet without Google, Wikipedia and social networks). The empire simultaneously resembles Tsarist Russia, modern Russia and the USA, and both superpowers also resemble the countries of the Romanesque world: Italy, Spain, the states of Latin America. At the same time, within the walls of State Security, secret technologies corresponding to the beginning of the 21st century and {spoiler|even later eras} are created and used.

** The old dictator, who has gone off the rails and began to fall into insanity, gives the order to treacherously attack the neighboring young republic, with which his power once had a common history (reference to Russian invasion to Ukraine. Two years before it happened in real life).
