July 1885. Zagorsky and Ganzalin accompany the Secret Soviet, who is traveling to the Far East on a diplomatic mission. More expensive, they stop briefly in Nizhny Novgorod, where a large annual fair is taking place.Zagorsky meets here with a gendarme officer Nikolai Nazarov, with whom they studied together in the cadet corps. Nazarov will follow the revolutionary Zabelin, hoping to expose the terrorist cell. However, on the day of Nazarov's meeting with Zagorsky, the revolutionary is killed. Judging by the gold coins found on the dead man, he was a distributor of counterfeit money tickets. Everything points to the fact that the alleged killer came from the Zheltuga Republic, or Amur California. Zagorsky and Ganzalin go to the mine to investigate the circumstances of the murder and the production of fake hearts.
