When Kir Bulychev was asked in an interview on the Kultura TV channel to name the most important work he's ever written, he responded that he has a work, if not his life's work, then at least the work of his last decade. He was speaking of the "River Chronos" series.
The novels in this series embody both of the writer's creative identities: history and literature. They combine a wide variety of literary genres: family saga, fantasy, alternative history, detective fiction, romance novels, satire, and tragedy...
The River Chronos, according to Bulychev, is as unruly as history itself. You can dive into it and emerge in a completely different place than you expected, and see something completely different from what you hoped to see. For example, Constantinople-Istanbul, stormed by the Russian troops who won the First World War. Or the coronation of Emperor Nicholas's son...
The main characters of the series, Andrei and Lidiya Berestov, experience the ravages of all the troubles that befell Russia at the beginning of the 20th century—from the hell of the Great War to the February and October Revolutions and subsequent events.
The fantastic device that Andrei inherited allows the series' heroes to travel through time, and this miraculous property gave Kir Bulychev the opportunity to describe the history of our country as he saw it through the eyes of an impartial observer.
