We fulfill the rough topological analysis of the problem of the motion of the Kovalevskaya top in a double field. This problem is described by a completely integrable system with three degrees of freedom not reducible to a family of systems with two degrees of freedom. The notion of a topological atlas of an irreducible system is introduced. The complete topological analysis of the critical subsystems with two degrees of freedom is given. We calculate the types of all critical points. We present the parametric classification of the equipped iso-energy diagrams of the complete momentum map pointing out all chambers, families of 3-tori, and 4-atoms of their bifurcations. Basing on the ideas of A.T. Fomenko, we introduce the notion of the simplified net iso-energy invariant. All such invariants are constructed. Using them, we establish, for all parametrically stable cases, the number of critical periodic solutions of all types and the loop molecules of all rank 1 singularities.
