Over the thirty-three years of living in the New World, Igor Efimov wrote eight novels, including "The Archives of the Last Judgment", "The Seventh Wife", "The Court Case", "The Unfaithful", "The Novgorod Interpreter", "The Emperor's Bride" and others. His pen also produced historical and philosophical studies such as "The Shameful Secret of Inequality", "The Coming Attila", "Who Killed President Kennedy".
