Мисия Туран

Bulgaria's population is shrinking, elections are near and its politicians are sliding in the polls. Professor Nestorov leads an expedition to Turan, a small, backward republic in Central Asia, sure that its people descend directly from the Proto-Bulgarians and ready to measure thousands of skulls to prove it. For the nationalist president at home this is a gift: new Bulgarians with passports would restore the head count and, with luck, vote the right way. The task of bringing these blood brothers into the fold falls to Professor Dokuzanov, ideologue of the Ongal News channel, builder of authentic fortresses and dealer in myths. Amid dictators, horsemen, shamans, songs and love affairs on the steppe, the free will of small people starts to upset the plans of the big players, and the old questions come back: who are we, and where do we come from?
