Ivanov A. The Gold of Rebellion: [novel] / Alexey Ivanov. — Moscow: Alpina Non-fiction, 2025. — 708 pages. Year 1778. The Urals smoke with mountain factories, which have only one road to Russia — the turbulent Chusovaya River. But here, barges laden with factory iron mercilessly crash into the rocky cliffs. The rafters who guide the barges through the river's rapids have a way to avoid disasters: they ask for help from the elders who rule the River from secret schismatic hermitages and hold in their fist the grand rafting of the "iron caravans." However, young rafter Ostasha, seeking to uncover the reasons for his father's death, leads a rebellion against the established order on the Chusovaya. To restore an honest name for himself and his father, he must find Pugachov's own treasure, hidden somewhere on the cliffs... But the true "gold of rebellion" is not Pugachov's hoard, but the answer to the question: how to accomplish a daunting task and not lose one's soul? UDC 821.161.1-311.6 BBK 84(2=411.2)6-442
