"Telegram from Moscow" - a satirical story written according to the Soviet reality . Conditional Oreshnikov district, in which the action takes place, is typical of any place in the Soviet Union. The author is well aware of all aspects of Soviet life, Soviet life in general, including methods of party work and propaganda, and the mood of the population. He managed to merge his heterogeneous and diverse observations and impressions from the Soviet Union into an almost concretely felt “certain” district and district. Hyperbolism and grotesque, consciously "cultivated" by the author, related him to the famous Ilf and Petrov, giving the satire persuasiveness. And this is not a paradox: and after the "historical XX Congress of the CPSU" much in the USSR, "thanks to the wise leadership of the party and government," is grotesque in nature - the nature of not normal human life, but a life tragedy. This tragedy is also expressed through the author's satire .. In this sense, nothing changes in the kingdom of the communist dictatorship and cannot change. Let some aspects of life change, the essence is unchanged . The picture painted by the author for the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of Soviet power in our country is a murderous sentence to the system.
