Iskateli Prikliuchenii (Искатели приключений)

The setting feels so vivid and immersive—I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or extensive research to craft this world.

I loved how nobody was entirely good or bad, which made their choices more intriguing. Did this moral ambiguity surprise others as much as it did me?

The blending of real history with fiction added layers to the narrative, but I wonder what led to that storytelling choice.
