The story revolves around the character Boris, a strong and courageous peasant who is known for his exceptional hunting skills, especially in eliminating bears that threaten his village. Set in a remote part of northern Europe, the narrative explores Boris's various adventures, including a fateful encounter with a bear that brings him to the attention of a powerful young man, revealing deeper themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the fight against adversity. The opening portion of the book introduces Boris as he embarks on a bear hunt but soon finds himself in dire straits when a bear he is pursuing turns the tables on him. As Boris relishes wild strawberries in the woods, he unexpectedly encounters the bear, leading to a humorous yet precarious chase. In a turn of events, Boris is saved just as he is about to be overpowered, by a stranger named Petka, who not only assists him in defeating the bear but also invites Boris to join him in Archangel. This moment of friendship sets the stage for Boris's transformation from a humble serf to a key figure in the service of the Tsar, hinting at the adventures and challenges that lie ahead in his life.
