		Mikhail Mikhailovich Zoshchenko (1895 - 1958) was a Russian satirist of the Soviet period.
		Zoshchenko had nothing but contempt for individuals claiming to be superior to the common people by virtue of their artistic merit – as he says, “like a little bird singing on a dunghill”.
		Zoshchenko thought he had dim memories of being suckled at his mother’s breast when she was frightened by a loud clap of thunder, causing her to snatch the breast away.

		Mikhail Zoshchenko was a household name in the Soviet Union from the 1920s until the crackdown on the arts after World War II.
		This is the first full-length study in English of his career, and of his critical and political reception in a society where the purpose of art was service to the state.
		Dr Scatton identifies stylistic and thematic unities in his prose, and argues that Zoshchenko's later works were natural outgrowths of his earlier experiments and not, as is often stated, aberrations or expressions of subservience to the regime.

	Reality Check
		Mikhail Zoshchenko was an introvert and a depressive who happened to make an entire country laugh.
		This indisputable fact is rarely appreciated outside the Russian-speaking world, a consequence both of our lack of familiarity with the comic traditions in which Zoshchenko worked, and of a shortage of good translations, such as these by Jeremy Hicks.
		Hicks has assembled a substantial quantity of the short fiction on which Zoshchenko's reputation largely rests, and nearly half of the collection appears...

		A masterly and popular recorder of this situation, in his satirical short stories of the first two Soviet decades, was Mikhail Zoshchenko.
		Born in St Petersburg in 1895, Zoshchenko studied law at the university, before serving as an officer in the Tsarist army and then volunteering for the Red Army.

		In each of these three texts, money functions as the central pivot of narrative conflict, an object through which questions of representation (both visual and textual) and its relation to reality are discussed.
		Through an integration of both historical considerations and close textual analysis, I argue that Zoshchenko's inquiries into money's form and function embody a much broader questioning of the structure of representation itself, one symptomatic of the widespread symbolic and monetary instability in Russia at the time.
		My paper thus hopes both to add to our understandings of Zoshchenko's work of the mid–1920s, and to raise new questions about the imbrication of money and representation in early Soviet culture.

		Though little known to English readers, Zoshchenko was one of the most popular writers in early Soviet Russia—a time when, as Hicks explains in a useful introduction to this collection of brief comic tales, satire was not yet prohibited by the authorities.
		Describing himself as "a temporary substitute for the proletarian writer," Zoshchenko wrote in a deliberately simple style, filling his pages with corrupt officials, petty thieves, and confused bureaucrats.
		With fl humor Zoshchenko describes the trials of living in an uncertain world which just might not be an improvement on the lost world of the czars.

		He managed to find one, he said, "a bit special, some kind of fantasy shirt", that was bound to "have the ladies throwing themselves at me".
		Almost all of the president's political options are an example of Zoshchenko's character having to put on his old shirt, and to hope that no one will notice.
		In Zoshchenko's satire, at a time when Russia's leaders were coming to the conclusion that market reforms would either be too slow or too ineffective for the economy's needs, that shirt was a fantasy.

		And there are other, apparently functioning establishments that seem content to skulk away in urban backwaters, in shadowy yards or on remote tracts of forgotten scarlands, daring the curious few to cross the forbidding threshold.
		Yet if certain writers deserve elegant gable ends or spacious libraries, nothing could be more appropriate than the sight of Zoshchenko's 1954 communal apartment - rooms leading to rooms leading to lives spent in a microcosm of stark Russianness.

		Trouble is, he soon discovers that the queue for parcel dispatch is a long one, and at the end of the wait, the weight-checker arbitrarily rejects every second or third shipment, claiming the packaging is loose, and must be refixed.
		According to Zoshchenko's eyewitness, a man loaded with six hefty boxes from a state optics factory gets angry when his shipment is rejected, so he offers a bribe to the weight-checker.
		Whether or not BP intends to operate the same trading schemes, there is enough cash in the new company to pay more tax to the Russian treasury, and also cover the $3 billion cash payment which BP is making to Fridman and Vekselberg.

		And admittedly, “The Galosh” is no slouch of a tale: Our narrator tells of losing one of his galoshes on a tram, then plunging into the bureaucracy of the Lost Property Office in an attempt to retrieve it.
		Most of the stories in this collection were written in the 1920s, when the newly formed Soviet Union, still staggering from its devastating civil war, actually encouraged a certain amount of artistic and economic freedom.
		Satire bloomed – there was a lot of material – and Zoshchenko, writing for the common man in deceptively simple, colloquial language, was enormously popular.

		That is, that they follow closely the views laid down for them by the Communist Party.
		This was the period of the 'Decrees' - decisions by the Soviet Central Committee concerning literature and other branches of the arts which amounted to a violent attack against even those minimal freedoms in the choice of subject and form that had survived (or else had been snatched from) bureaucratic Party control during the war.
		I remember how that evening Zhdanov told as if it were the latest joke how his criticism of the satirist Zoshchenko had been taken in Leningrad: they simply confiscated Zoshchenko's ration coupons and did not give them back to him until after Moscow's magnanimous intervention.

		The discussion of Bakhtin pays particular attention to the impact of his historical context in the Soviet Union and to the importance of his own dialogic mode of discourse.
		Bakhtin's ideas are then placed in dialogic relation to the works of several important writers of modern Russian fiction, including Vassily Aksyonov, Ilf and Petrov, Mikhail Zoshchenko, Yuz Aleshkovsky, Andrei Bitov, and Sasha Sokolov.
