Soviet Russia, 1920: Starting with the Cheka

This is an age when an empire collapses and order is rebuilt with iron and blood. From a code clerk in a basement to the unseen shadow behind the leader, from a blade to the hand that wields it, he is silent as stone, yet step by step he enters the very heart of power. He saves those who were meant to die and changes nights that were meant to end in bloodshed. Between madness and reason, he preserves the last generation of minds capable of building steel, rockets, and the future for that vast nation. He does not believe in slogans. He believes in only three things: industry, intelligence, and state capacity. When war swallows the land, he rebuilds munitions factories among the ruins. When the whole world believes the country is about to fall, he sends a satellite into the sky. Some hate him, some fear him, and some see him as their last trump card. He only wants to finish, before everything ends, a dream that has lasted seventy years.

"I didn't change anyone. I finally finished the dream from that winter."
