When in an interview Kir Bulychev was asked to name the most important of everything he had written, the master replied that he had a case, if not of his whole life, then at least of the last decade. The cycle "The River Chronos", he talked about it. In the novels included in the cycle, both creative hypostases of the writer found embodiment: history and literature. They combined a variety of literary trends: and family saga, and science fiction, and alternative history, and detective, and a novel about love, and satire, and life tragedy ... The River Chronos, Bulychev, the river shrewd as the history itself. You can dive into it and come out not where you expect, and see not at all what you hope to see. For example, Constantinople-Stamboul, taken by storm by Russian troops, who won the First World War. Or the crowning of the son of Emperor Nicholas ... The protagonists of the novels of the cycle, Andrew and Lydia Berestovy, go through the meat grinder of all the troubles that fell on Russia in the early XX century - from the hell of world slaughter to the February and October revolutions and the events that took place later. The fantastic device, which Andrei inherited, allows the heroes of the cycle to move through time, and this marvelous property gave Kir Bulychev the opportunity to describe the history of our country as he saw it through the eyes of an unbiased observer.
