The action of the book by Alexei Lukyanov takes place in the space of an alternative history. The dangerous terrorist Crocodile arrives in the capital of the Russian Empire, which has happily escaped wars and revolutions, and is opposed by the brave boy Vanya Vasilchikov. However, a phantasmagoria in the spirit of Chukovsky is only a form in which the author concludes his main idea: global cataclysms affect our lives much less than is commonly believed. Despite the fact that Lukyanov’s Russia differs from the real one in many details, it still remains recognizable enough that it will not be difficult for every reader of The Savior of Petrograd to find his own place in it.
