The USSR never collapsed and thrives to this day. The year is 2067. Humanity has colonized the Moon and Mars, though true to sacred tradition, they’ve already found reasons to wage wars over them — thankfully, so far only in space. Back on Earth, the Cold War has simmered down, if only slightly.

Not that either bloc — socialist or capitalist — lacks its other troubles... The USSR certainly has plenty. And congratulations — you might just be one of them. Or perhaps not. Maybe you’re an honest Soviet citizen, framed by the system. Misunderstood.

Either way, your case made enough noise to attract the attention of the "higher powers." And by higher powers, we mean Veniamin Tsakhaevich Kogan — Chairman of the USSR Committee for State Security, or, in simpler terms, head of the KGB. He’s taken a personal interest in one of the most high-profile dissenters of late. And that dissenter... is you.

Who are you, exactly? That’s up to you. Maybe you’re a truth-telling poet who rubbed the Politburo the wrong way, or a democracy-minded oppositionist dreaming of freedom. Maybe you’re an outright terrorist. Or perhaps a born entrepreneur — just one who "happened" to be born in the wrong place, at the wrong time. You could even be an innocent bystander, swept up by mistake. Or a deep-cover agent.

It’s all in your hands, comrade.
