So could it be that the book officially meant not to be an attach only on the NEP, but also on the Jews? plenty of people involved in the book are Jews. But maybe it was Ilf and Petov that fooled the system. >>>> Yaacov, Yaacov, Yaacov..trying to provoke me again? <ggg> Wish I had all that time .... You know full well, you bloody bastard <g> that Jews were intimately involved in everything and especialy arts and literature (before 1937 and before 1941 naturally :( Ilf was a Jew and Petrov was Russian thus Ostap was half-Jew... The unparalel genre of untranslatable sotilities (laugh through the tears) ridiculing the unthinkable absurdity of the Soviet Regime and Soviet reality is still most popular and outright hilarious ...In fact anything Russian is not even readable without it... Still brilliant people lost their lifes for this....(Bulgakov-most prominent among them) If Ostap Bender (and his creators) were writing in 1936 they would not be joking... Nevertheless the genre spreads from Zochenko and Babel to Bulgakov...than of course is a giant hiatus..and who would joke dead or in Magadan?.....that is of course until Breznev era when the genre really took off again...with numerous names and why not..the absurdity gotten even more absurd....except Ostap would be emigrating in 70's...<ggg> and not to Rio de Janeiro...<g>

The joke for you on the subject...After October Revolution of 1917 a young Jew is getting out of getto and looking for a job in Moscow....Anywhere he goes he is asked if he can write...he can't.... Many years later an old Jew is looking for a diamond for his lovely grand-daughter who is getting married..He is getting frustrated with the owner who shows him $10,000, $30,000 diamonds....This is my only lovely granddauther! Finally under great security $1 mln diamond is shown...The man felt understood and have his assistants bring bags upon bags of cash.. The owner is getting scared-Please write me a check! ....The old Jew replies "Oh if I only knew how to write I would be working at the Moscow factory...."
