Queue in Russian Literature

[LeBlanc, Ronald]

One of my favorites can be found in Vladimir Voinovich's "Moskva 2042," where a long line of people -- holding chamberpots -- is standing outside a kiosk that displays a poster that reads: "Everyone who hands in secondary matter will feast on primary matter."  

I excrement you not.

See especially the chapter, "Vegetarian Pork."

Dear all,

I am looking for depictions of queues in Russian literature of the 20th
century (also queues in films, posters ect.). Until now I could only think
of Zinov'evs 'Zijajushchie vysoty', Akesonovs 'Apelsiny iz Marokko' and
Sorokins 'Ochered''. Would be very grateful for any hints.

Vsem spasibo,
Miriam Finkelstein
