Summary “Redwood”
There are eccentrics in Moscow, Petersburg, and other big Russian cities. They do not have royal, but imperial bloodlines.

Older beautiful things are stored, of course, not in the museum of ancient life, but in the homes of their former owners.

Claudia, Skudrin’s daughter, based on her own morals, also, in turn, gives a forecast of the future of modern women. The emergence of many single mothers and single women is caused by the collapse of the social foundations of society. However, the state supports single mothers, and that’s what women like Claudia hope for.
