By chance or for some other reason, the main character got the opportunity to discuss the fundamental problems of existence with one or another ruler of Russia - from Ivan the Terrible to the present time. It seems that all the leaders showed concern for their people, at least in words, but their actions often turned into hardships for ordinary people and the leaders always found excuses for this. How will this attempt to understand the essence of any power end for the main character - will he come to terms with the inevitable, admitting that the world was originally designed this way and it is useless to change anything, or will he find another solution to the puzzle? The words sounding from the lips of ghosts bearing the names of famous people were invented by the author, but he did not set himself the goal of offending or offending anyone - he just wanted to understand the essence of the problem posed, using humor and gentle satire, since nothing else was given.< /p>
