USSR! Lenin! The Party! Komsomol! Come on?! Kobzon, Zykina, BAM, Virgin Lands… No matter how you don’t want it?
About a person transported into the USSR, I decided to write a long time ago—so it’s a planned book.
I want to write about a real country where Communism was being built and people choked in queues, where everyone together signed letters condemning some non-returner and a dissident, and where you bought a “brand-new” ("firm") from scalpers. A country with BAM, Virgin Lands, and friendship of peoples—and at the same time with партийні бюрократи, shop-floor bosses, thieves-in-law.
Will it work out? I don’t know… Honestly, I don’t know! Judge for yourselves, and for now… the beginning is made!
