		The Twelve Chairs, as the first installment of the saga of Ostap Bender -- "the smooth operator" with a glittering dream -- is at once a nostalgic and colorful depiction of life in the Soviet Union circa 1927, but most of all, it is hilariously funny.
		In fact, Bender is neither a Soviet man, nor a follower of the Tzarist regime.
		During the time of the Communist regime, Bender was marginalized by virtue of being from a bourgeois background.

	The St. Petersburg Times - Arts + Features - going on a bender with ostap
		Ostap Bender, the creation of Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov in their novels "The Twelve Chairs" and "The Golden Calf," is one of the most popular heroes in Soviet literature, and now St. Petersburg has a restaurant named in his honor.
		Inside, the restaurant is tastefully decorated in an art nouveau style, with two dining areas, one done largely in green and one in blue, to the left and right of the entrance respectively.
		The biggest gripe (and it was only a very small one) was the background music which was playing when we came in, and this got better before we left anyway (as we walked out the door we heard the start of "My Way," a vast improvement on the earlier efforts).

		It stands to reason, then, that Ostap’s incredibly appealing verbality would sooner or later be tested live, on stage or on screen.
		In fact, his adventures have been filmed three times (in 1968, 1971, and 1976, with a fourth twelve-series television film set to come out in December of 2003), presented (in whole or in part) in radio dramatizations, performed as a puppet show and a ballet, and, of course, seen on the stage.
		In a text as fetishized as the Bender novels, all these changes indicate conscious decisions to add another, self-referential layer of irony and play onto a text that is in its original form already densely packed with these elements.

		In discussion of Dvenadcat' stul'ev we will concentrate on the chapter "The alphabet is the mirror of life" ("Alfevit—zerkalo zhizni,quotes>), in which the hero, Ostap Bender, cheats the archivist Korobejnikov in order to obtain basic information for the whole following development of the plot.
		His opponent, the "great combiner" and fraud Ostap Bender dominates every situation not only by his Oedipal cleverness but also by his rhetoric strategies, using the spoken word and operating with its performative and almost magic power.
		In opposition to the old archivist one can see how the character of Osip Bender incorporates and ironically reflects essential elements of the official Soviet concept of signification, which also operates not so much with closed (literary based) systems of economic and verbal communication but mainly with the performative power of the propagandistic word.
