Viktor Gakhov

A group of scientists is sent to the planet Arkanar to help the local civilization, which is in the Medieval phase of its own history, to find the right path to progress. Their task is a difficult one: they cannot interfere violently and in no case can they kill. The scientist Rumata tries to save the local intellectuals from their punishment and cannot avoid taking a position.

The heroes of the series are employees of a very modest St. Petersburg newspaper "Russian Horror Stories", who write about various anomalies and miracles.
