Summary

Mikhail Klaus, a resident of the village of Rechnikov Zhatai in Yakutia, hails from Austro-Hungarian Germans, as evidenced by his surname, which is rare for these latitudes. It is generally believed that "it's good for a Russian, then death for a German," but Misha's family has become so Russified that it does not fit the saying. Klus is a representative of one of the rarest professions on earth – a shipwrecker. Klus, who works in the wild frost, like other frostbitten people, dreams of going to the sea with his son Sasha. Will he succeed in fulfilling his dream?
