About

Participants will enjoy a lively discussion about the novel by Ilf and Petrov as a brilliant literary game, a guide to Soviet everyday life, and a text that is still easily recognizable by its intonation, imagery, and cultural references. This meeting is suitable for those who love to read attentively and derive pleasure not only from the plot but also from how the literary text is structured. The focus of the discussion will be the novel by Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov, which has long been quoted but has not lost its sharpness and research interest. Behind the external ease, adventurous intrigue, and humor lies a complex work with cultural layers, the language of the era, and images of Soviet reality in the late 1920s. Participants will discuss why this book is called a unique guide to Soviet Russia, how citation works within it, and why references to Russian and foreign classics, adventure literature, and Soviet fiction become part of the novel's mechanism. The conversation in the club is built on participation, debate, personal observations, and reader discoveries. Hosts Daniil Ryasov and Svetlana Panchenko invite everyone to join the discussion and ask questions. The current Moscow program is presented on KUDAGO.
