This took me by surprise. I suppose you have to call the humour dark, but the book has a spirit of optimism, of belief in the principles and ambitions of the October Revolution, which is - in spite of a century of propaganda - still bright and inspiring and thoroughly intelligent. A terrific portrait of the most terrible régime that somehow remembers the passions and beliefs that were betrayed by the Stalinist takeover.
