This series tells how foreigners, in a hurry to leave home, accidentally intervened in the course of the Civil War and almost changed the entire history of the country. The so-called "uprising of the Czechoslovak corps" in the spring and summer of 1918 led to the fact that the entire East was under the control of Russia's anti-Soviet forces. What was the Czechoslovak corps like, how did it fight in Russia, and what did the author of The Adventures of the Good Soldier Schweik, Yaroslav Gashek, have to do with it?
