GRU special forces have repeatedly thwarted the plans of a sect led by the charismatic emissary Omar, who attempted to steal the technology for producing miniature nuclear bombs, set up a secret explosives factory, and even kidnap a real duchess. Together with Major Ozolin, nicknamed “Dynamite,” and Captain Krestovtsev, known as “Krest,” the FSB agents are fighting Afghan terrorists, and inexplicably, a couple of amateur detectives who also want to save humanity show up at every operation.
