Tonya

The material for the story “Tonya” came from American impressions of the writers. It’s marked by traits new for the satirists’ work. This is a story about ordinary Soviet people forced to live in a capitalist society among people alien to and different from them. Satire is paired here with lyricism. The images of young Soviet woman Tonia Govorkova and her husband Kostya, like those of other members of the Soviet colony, are drawn with soft, watercolor-like colors.
