Marina procures an abortion for no reason except that motherhood might spoil her figure. Mad with rage when his wife brutally tells him of this, Globov smashes everything in their apartment-only one birthday present, a bust of "The One." "The Master" (i.e., Stalin), being miraculously preserved. In revenge, Globov sends a doctor he suspects of having performed the abortion...
