In a faraway Russian republic a young, successful, businessman is in power. The conversation with him reveals a true "player" of the chessboard of politics, but also creates a series of questions on the edge of reason and absurdity. What is the connection between Buddha, the descendants of Genghis Khan, the murder of a journalist, 12 chairs, chess and aliens? His business and political career would not have anything different from that of many Russians in the post-Soviet era, had it not been for the chess and the aliens! His political rivals consider him a megalomaniac, a pathological liar and an extremely dangerous person. The president of Kalmykia, and president of World Chess Federation, Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov, attempts to explain the inexplicable.
