The naked pioneer girl

En savoir plus sur le livre

A pioneer girl with the Russian army, fifteen-year-old Mucha trudges along the road to her execution. Much more than death, Mucha fears expulsion from the collective in which she plays a real and useful part. The comrades come to her when they need warmth and tenderness and she's happy in this role. (Although someone really should tell the Supreme Soviet that knickers need to be made with better elastic!) During the siege of Leningrad, Mucha takes to the air over her beloved city. She sees Stalin sitting on a red star on top of the Kremlin, smoking his pipe and drinking tea and wondering what further anguish he can inflict on his truly, a tyrant of his time.
