The only thing from the oral folklore of die and stay alive is an anecdote. And she plays a significant role in his play Lijavec.
Blaník
Cimrman sees the reason for the popularity of the Blanik legend in Bohemia mainly in the geographical location of our homeland.

It is no wonder that a small nation under such pressure seeks supernatural and even miraculous protection, for only a miracle can enable it to survive here."
