Alexander Saburov

Alexander Saburov (Александр Сабуров) is the husband of Katerina Saburova, an honest and incorruptible ruler. He has great respect for Catherine, and consults her in important matters. He takes her prophetic gift seriously, and often forms opinion based on her visions.

At the beginning of the epidemic, Alexander becomes Commandant, and absolute powers along with it. He refers to this appointment as a burden, and he believes that people in this position are doomed to error.

At first, he wishes to keep the epidemic secret, so as not to spread panic, but he's too late for that. To avoid disturbances, he decides to tighten the screws. The last straw is the murder of his trusted patrolman. After that, Alexander begins to arrest people indiscriminately, which results in plenty of innocents behind bars. However, all of his actions are to prevent collapse, as the streets are filled with rampant arsonists with razors and marauders with boards. The final result of his efforts is a tragedy in the Cathedral.

The arrival of the Inquisitor ends the bloody dictatorship of the Saburovs.

Saburov hates Peter Stamatin so greatly that he appointed him to the post of manager of cremation; that is, to a certain death. But the causes of his hatred are unknown.

Since the epidemic began, Alexander was sure that the city was doomed. He does not consider himself guilty for the beginning of the epidemic, but takes responsibility for the destruction of the city. Alexander readily answer for his crimes and climbs the scaffold.
