The author shows the social and psychological motives of the murder of the Tsar's minister, Pyotr Stolypin, by Dmytro Bogrov during the performance at the theater.

The story "What faith is the best?" is based on the plot of Chinese life. The attention of the author is attracted not so much by exotic of the East, but  by the lives of  people themselves.
