The opening play introduces several pivotal figures, including Graf Alexei Grigorjewitsch Rasumowsky and the ambitious Graf Grigorij Orlow, setting a stage filled with tension and the weight of historical context. At the start of the first drama, titled "Rasumowsky," we find ourselves in the year 1763 in Petersburg, where the character Fedor Alexandrowitsch Chidrowo anxiously awaits the arrival of Graf Rasumowsky, whose house is depicted with a grand yet solemn ambiance. As Chidrowo and Kapitänleutnant Michael Lassunsky discuss the troubling news of a violent incident involving the Großkanzler Woronzow, the tension heightens with anticipation of Orlow's looming arrival. The conversation hints at internal conflicts within the Russian state, and Chidrowo expresses a deep concern over Orlow's ambitions and the fate of Rasumowsky, suggesting that personal legacies are at stake. The scene develops a rich tapestry of historical intrigue, capturing the reader's interest in the unfolding drama.
