Symposium on Satirical Journals

[Perova Natasha]

Dear Marcus
discussing the satirists of the early 20th century I hope you will remember 
the great satirical writer Vlas Doroshevich. I think his relevance is only 
growing. Glas is publishing a collection of his "fairytales" which are 
actually very clever "anti-establishment" parables in which any society can 
recognize themselves, not only Russian.
