ones — who see how I lost my ability to write books, how my creative potential collapsed, and I fell into crisis? Quite possible. Maybe such a parallel reality, a multiverse, does exist, right? But then, what is the multiverse? Because what good is it to us that something exists somewhere out there if we are here and now, right? So, it turns out that the multiverse is wherever we are at this very moment in time? After all, look at the paradox. We are all now witnessing that, for example, Donald Trump won the election. Here, I deliberately phrased it this way — not “became president” but “won the election” — this is a very important point. So, he won the election in 2024. But what are the chances that things could have turned out differently, and on whom or what does it depend? And if I had believed in something else and wanted something different, could things have turned out differently now? Yes, of course, it sounds too global and egotistical and impossible and unreal. But why not? Maybe that’s why, in the second volume of “Alternative History,” Big Alexander was so worried that I wouldn’t think or believe that something bad would happen in the world and instead kept encouraging me to believe in the Golden Age, in a bright future, in the White Tsar, that happiness and success would come to the world and to Russia — maybe he was doing this for a reason. Maybe, as they say, whatever I believe in, that’s what everyone, including myself, will end up in. And why not? Can you imagine how interesting that is? And this is all part of the multiverse topic. And this is just the beginning.
I don’t know how much more time I will need to at least somehow analyze this third volume. It is so multilayered, this third volume. And do you know that apart from being multilayered, I already mentioned the time machine, the multiverse, and the three worlds at the beginning of the third volume, as seen in the icon of the “Last Judgment,” and about Trimurti, that Hinduism — this was even before I later went to Cambodia, to Angkor Wat, to study the entire complex. That happened later, but I was already being shown all this: time, the multiverse, all of it. And actually, I will now summarize, not in this round, but Mystic-Old-Man said that the most powerful of the volumes I have written, the one with the most serious information, is the second volume, and I understand what he means. Because it talks about governing the world, that you can just sit at a dacha, and you simply live with people, and this reflects on the whole world. I know this is the most valuable, but people just don’t understand it —
