Ulan

Falling from a tall building, he had time to think: "I don't want to do this... how foolish," and the Higher Powers gave the former schoolboy a chance! The terrible and brilliant eighteenth century, an era of the harshest serfdom... and palace coups, all-powerful favorites and terrible uprisings that shake the country. A time when one could rise to an unseen height next to the throne and vanish into obscurity, leaving nothing behind.
Charisma, a pinch of luck, extraordinary personal qualities and a heavy shroud of mystery enveloping Igor, like a cloak, inspire respect and a measure of caution among those around him. In the eyes of others, he is an aristocrat hiding from enemies. Enlisting as a volunteer in the Ulan regiment, he begins his ascent, and each of his steps is a page in the future history textbook.
