A bilingual collection that opens a window into the everyday textures of Soviet life. A compact, quietly subversive Penguin classic.

Featuring writers including Ilf and Petrov, Olesha, Paustovsky and others, this volume gathers stories that move between satire, lyricism and quiet moral tension.

Printed in parallel text, Russian and English sit side by side, you can read it for language, for atmosphere, or for the strange intimacy of lives shaped by ideology, scarcity, humour and survival.

Small rooms. Bureaucrats. Lovers. Workers. Dreamers. The private beneath the public.
