An amazing thing falls into the hands of the Moldavian ruler Stefan cel Mare - a skull made of rock crystal, brought from America by Columbus's predecessor Eric the Brave. A stupid article about a certain “relic” invented by Veniamin to resist the unremitting dullness of everyday life is declared ingenious and becomes a fixed idea for the “violent leaders” of the new Moldavian empire. The fantasies set out in it are a historical discovery. The owner of “magical power” became indestructible in battles and successful in business. Therefore, to successfully lead a country, you need a skull and its crystal eggs. Absurd ideas fit perfectly into the madness of the moment, with insane nationalist slogans with a Nazi slant, the forced Romanization of the republic, the amazingly persistent zealous desire of the next “small people” to equate themselves with the “great nations.” An unthinkable farce acquires similar features in a series of fictitious and real events, creating parallelism and similarity between chimerism and reality.
