Yes, it wasn’t the right person that Nikolashka Ostrohov called a Russian hero in his chronicle, praising him as the glory of his homeland—and attributing the deeds of someone else to Ilya Muromets! Offended Stepan Kolupaev, taking along clumsy Ilya, searches for a chronicler- liar in order to restore justice. Meanwhile, a terrible war is underway: a cruel enemy has approached Kyiv, the mother city of Russian lands. Rusichs, krainets, and sedorus fight shoulder to shoulder, and even the evil spirits—and the very Mother Earth—help them in their just struggle.

Stepan and Ilya, surviving many adventures that have proven something good about Ilya Muromets too, eventually find Ostrohov… but Stepan has already changed his mind about restoring justice. The main thing is for the Rusichs to have their own hero, an embodiment of strength and courage—and who he truly is doesn’t matter. Especially since it was exactly Ilya—though by accident—who played a decisive role in Rus’ victory over the enemy.
