About the book: 1999 / In the 20s, Soviet secret intelligence services are preparing an expedition to Tibet, to the mystical country of Shambhala. Here they intend to obtain ancient knowledge about telepathy and parapsychology. International terrorist, political intelligence officer Yakov Blyumkin is appointed commissioner of the expedition. As a result of intrigues among the leaders of the OGPU, the expedition is disrupted, but the Special Department, led by Gleb Bokiy, does not intend to cancel its plans. Blyumkin, under the guise of a Buddhist, penetrates into Northern India and joins the expedition of N.K. Roerich, who is also striving for the mysterious Shambhala. A publication that reveals little-known pages of domestic intelligence services, equipped with unique documents and photographs, will certainly be greeted by readers with great interest.
