chocolate

[Roman Ravve]

Вера Ильина. Шоколад. 1923
Was published in Moscow or Leningrad.

"Заветный жданный шоколад
опять все только снится
им каждый край чужой богат,
но... это заграница"

I saw only some parts of this poem in the book called
Авангард и построение нового человека. Искусство детской
книги 1920-х годов. М.: Новое литературное обозрение, 2002.
by Евгений Штейнер. There is an English translation of this book to.
Called "Stories for Little Comrades".

Think, it is what U need.

The author make a detailed analysis of this poem about chocolate.

LR> Can anyone identify for me some films and/or works of fiction from the Soviet 1920s and 1930s -- other than
LR> Aleksandr Tarasov-Rodionov's "Shokolad" -- where chocolate figures as a motif?

LR> I am especially in instances where chocolate is stigmatized as a decadent luxury food item closely associated
LR> with the bourgeoisie.
