"And in this cabinet" the head of the
museum says, "you will find something very unique; in fact unique
and one-of-its-kind in all the USSR: the specimen of a philistine
from the year nineteen-o-five."
When, before the revolution, accidentally arrested, the philistine
- a tsarist civil servant of high status - falls in deep, lethargic
sleep.
20 years later he wakes up and finds himself in a post-revolutionary,
still young Soviet Union. He is stunned. He is shocked. But a philistine
always finds his way. |
