The story is introduced as the recollections of the author's grandfather Lev, a contemporary Russian Jewish émigré. It is set in the first week of 1942, with Lev trying to survive the Siege of Leningrad after his father is "disappeared" by the NKVD and his mother and sister flee the city. Lev is arrested for looting the body of an ejected Luftwaffe pilot. Thrown in prison, he meets Kolya Vlasov, a young Cossack soldier arrested for deserting his unit. The two are brought to Colonel Grechko of the NKVD who barters with if they are able to obtain a dozen eggs for the colonel's daughter's upcoming wedding, Lev and Kolya will be given their freedom. If they are unable to find the eggs (a luxury in the starving Leningrad), both will be executed.
