Description
How far will Russia go to regain its geopolitical supremacy? You think Ukraine is the goal? Think again.
Not only Alaska, but other vast territories of the American continent were once Russian. It stretched all the way down to Northern California. Fort Ross, Russian fortress and settlement of the early 19th century, which still located 90 miles north of San Francisco, at that time marked the southern border of the Russian Empire. At the peak of its power, Russia suddenly abandoned the colony.
Why? What happened?
In our days, an international TV crew was hired by Russian TV channel to make a documentary at "Fort Ross National Historic Park". Dmitry, a reporter already famous in Russia, Margo, long legged sound engineer, very pretty, and very independent American girl in her twenties, and videographer Jeff, the guy from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, same age as Margo. They meet in New York and soon became friends.
But, when they arrived in California for the location shooting, as a result of some mysterious anomaly, Dmitry was thrown back in Time into the Fort Ross of 1820s. There he found a thriving international community of the colonists: Russians, Aleuts, Native Americans, Spaniards. Ripening field of rye, peach orchards, vineyards, flocks of sheep and herds of cattle. In the protected bay, a merchant's ships at anchor, waiting for the goods to be loaded – paradise and nothing else.
To his surprise, he realized that his ability to travel in Time happened because of the strange malfunctioning of his iPhone. What a stroke of luck! How great it would be to take an authentic historical footage from the past! However, soon he will realize that what had fallen in his hands is much more serious than just an opportunity to make an unprecedented footage. How about to change the Past? And relatively the Future?
Dmitry, taken aback by this unknown chapter of Russian history, sees the new opportunities for Mother Russia. Margo, as an American, is very disturbed. She, who has an Indian blood in her veins fascinated by the peaceful coexistence of Russians and local Kashaya tribe. As for Jeff, he is just torn apart between his new friend Dmitry and his new love for Margo.
Not being able to resolve all these issues at once, friends decided to disguise themselves as Franciscan friars and Margo as an Indian girl and dive into the Past for the brief exploration. What the heck! They will return to modern Time in no-time, literary.
But Fate had other plans for them...
