Time, Reverse! Marishka and Yegor Adamenkovy. The USSR of the Brezhnev Era. A Humorous-Melodramatic Novella

What does a pregnant time-traveling woman do in the USSR first? She gives birth. And second? Right. She builds a diaper factory. Her husband is the USSR boxing champion, getting ready to meet Muhammad Ali. Brezhnev works on his dacha, and Americans are at war with Mexico.

How could this be? Read and you’ll find out.

And what if Gaidai were to film Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita”? It would be great!

“Brezhnev frowned and asked, ‘Daughter, are you suggesting we introduce NEP?’ A savvy Marishka didn’t want to be silent and cut him off: ‘So socialism begins with a kid’s … in the g.e?’ A pause fell. Leonid Ilyich appreciated the answer.”

“There was also something like it for Galina and her husband. She walked around grandly, but didn’t drink. The champagne was closed. People would visit her and congratulate her—everyone, including Legenko and Magovaev, and actors and gypsies. Marishka gifted her older friend and boss a magnificent silk outfit embroidered with a rainbow made of flowers.”
