4 Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad (London, 1991). Katerina Clark’s study of socialist realism reveals its close connection to Lenin’s heroic scenario ( The Soviet Novel: History as Ritual , Bloomington, IN, 2000); Ben Lewis’s study asks some good questions about the Soviet anekdot ( Hammer and Tickle: The History of Communism Told Through Communist Jokes [London, 2008]).

5 Robert C. Allen, From Farm to Factory: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet Industrial Revolution (Princeton, NJ, 2003), p. 131.

6 This observation comes from the so-called ‘Riutin platform’ (see Reabilitatsiia [Moscow, 1991], pp. 334–442).

7 Dmitri Pisarev, Sochineniia (Moscow, 1956), vol. 3, p. 148. For Lenin’s citation of Pisarev, in What Is to Be Done? , see PSS 6:172; Lars T. Lih, Lenin Rediscovered: ‘What Is to Be Done?’ in Context (Haymarket, 2008), p. 829. Lenin’s citation somewhat distorts Pisarev’s actual argument.
