The young man shows good mathematical abilities, goes to college, but the career of a scientist does not appeal to him. From his youth, he is fond of the process of making money. As a result, by the time of the collapse of the USSR, Grigory Moiseevich Plotkin, a successful businessman, was making an excellent financial career and becoming an oligarch, the owner of a large fortune.

The second storyline is the story of a criminal investigation by a Moscow journalist with an impeccable reputation, Dmitry Glukharyov, who “digs up” the details of Plotkin’s fraud that allowed him to get rich in such a short time. Around the compromising materials collected by the journalist, people are dying: relatives of Glukharyov and Plotkin. As a result, a bloody war is stopped by the fact that Glukharyova and his freedom of speech are bought as a thing...
