Breathing Easy: The Royal Way to Solve Lack of Oxygen in Russia After the War.

The Russian government gave out free oxygen counters to 12 groups of serfs. This helped the landowners who were paying for the counters themselves.

The need to count oxygen came after a war with the West where both sides used nuclear weapons. The Russian army won, but there was less oxygen in the air.

The war had some good effects, like fruit trees growing fruit twice a year and a warmer climate in Siberia. However, the lack of oxygen was a big problem.

The Emperor told his scientists to fix the problem. A smart man named Prince Viktor Petrik became the leader of the scientists and figured out how much oxygen people needed.

Petrik said that they could make a special device to measure oxygen for the common people. The nobles would not need to use the device.
