Alexander Saburov

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

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

His first idea is to keep the beginning of the epidemic in 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 a brutal massacre, which results in plenty of innocents behind bars. However, all his actions are against collapse: in order to ensure that it is not possible. On the streets are rampant arsonists with razors and marauders with boards. The final result 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 is 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.
