Rostov (Russian: Росто́в; Old Norse: Rostofa) is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, one of the oldest in the country and a tourist center of the Golden Ring. It is located on the shores of Lake Nero, 202 kilometers (126 mi) northeast of Moscow. Population: 31,791 (2010 Census preliminary results); 34,141 (2002 Census); 35,707 (1989 Census).
While the official name of the town is Rostov, it is better known to Russians as Rostov Veliky, i. e. Rostov the Great. This name is used to distinguish it from Rostov-on-Don, which is now a much larger city. Rostov Yaroslavsky is the official name of its railway station (due to its position in Yaroslavl Oblast); the town itself is hardly ever called by that name.
Rostov was predated by Sarskoye Gorodishche, which some scholars interpret as the capital of the Merya tribe, while others believe it was an important Viking trade enclave and fortress guarding the Volga trade route. First mentioned in the year 862 as an already important settlement, by the 13th century, Rostov became capital city of one of the most prominent Russian principalities. It was incorporated into Muscovy in 1474.

Plot: The tower is the highest building in modern Moscow. It is a symbol of ambition, success and status. At once a terrible explosion will transform the tower into the place of imprisonment of heroes. In isolation from the outside world they will be looking for a salvation to themselves.

Trying to find a logical explanation for what is happening they inevitably reach an impasse together and one by one. These are people, for whom space is suddenly narrowed, preventing the usual picture of the world. They will be forced to change themselves, gradually realizing that the solution of this problem is not at the entry.
