This 1992 collection, titled after one of the most famous catchphrases of the late-Soviet satirical landscape, showcases the sharp-witted prose of Mikhail Mishin. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the "Homo Sovieticus" during the era of Perestroika and the early post-Soviet transition, including the arrangement of humorous monologues, short stories, and sketches that lampooned the absurdities of bureaucracy and changing social mores. Mishin, a prominent satirist whose work was frequently performed on stage and television, captured the bittersweet irony of a society in flux.  As a vital primary source, this volume documents the evolution of Russian humor from the subtle Aesopian language of the 1980s to the more overt social criticism of the 1990s. This specific copy is especially valuable for its inclusion of the author's autograph, making it a significant bibliographical rarity for collectors of Russian satire, theater historians, and enthusiasts of late 20th-century popular culture.
