Uproariously funny stories that give a behind-the-scenes look at daily life in the Soviet Union of Zoshchenko's time
Description
Series
These uproariously funny stories of Russia's leading but outlawed humorist give a behind-the-scenes look at daily life in the Soviet Union—a country of housing shortages and consumers' goods shortages, of inefficiency and bad roads, of bureaucracy and red tape, whose heroes are often fools, knaves, charlatans, fakers, poseurs.
