Title: For Scholars of Russian Society Only
Product review: This book was supposed to be a satirical look at Russian life at the end of the Brezhnev era. As I read it, though, I realized that it was largely a string of inside jokes I didn't get. It is written in a slapdash style that probably drips delicious irony for those in the know. For everyone else, is it a truly masochistic experience.
