A self-proclaimed scientific genius and follower of Lysenko, named Gladishev, for example, devotes himself to creating a hybrid plant that will grow potatoes underground and tomatoes above. He also believes in excrement as a wonder vitamin that could benefit mankind if only people would overcome their squeamishness. There are send-ups of education, collective farms, newspapers, law enforcement and party organizations. Voinovich's definition of an official meeting: "An arrangement whereby a large number of people gather together, some to say what they really...
