Jan Pototcki's novel and the Russian underground

[Olga Meerson]

It is called "Orlandina", and was written, indeed with some collaboration with Khvostenko, but mostly by Henri Volokhonsky. Do you still need a link? I remember the whole text and can even perform it for you, if you are around. But if not, I am sure other SEELANGers will provide the info.
