Her stories formed the basis for the plot of the first book of "Tales."

The years pass, generations pass, and now, against the backdrop of the historical cataclysms of the early 20th century, the descendants of the heroes of the first part of the novel live out their destinies. Having inherited family traits, many of them have lost the memory of their ancestors... The dynamic narrative, masterful portrayal of numerous characters, incredibly realistic depictions of the schismatic life and the harsh taiga nature have rightfully earned Cherkasov's trilogies immense popularity.
