Summary of Lev Golinkin's A Backpack, a Bear, and Eight Crates of Vodka

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Soviet Union had the best parades in the world. They were mandatory, and attendance was mandatory, rain or otherwise. On April 26, 1986, the year before I entered first grade, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, spewing a radioactive cloud over the Ukraine.

#2The teacher, Anna Konstantinovna, taught us how to sit and how to use our arms and hands when writing. She also taught us about the Union, and how it was a product of the hard work of Lenin.

#3 The Soviet Union had a system of early-childhood indoctrination known as the Little Octobrist group. The Pioneers were the next level, and they recited the Solemn Pledge of the Pioneers, which was: to love and protect their country passionately, to live as the Communist Party taught them, and to always carry out the laws of the Pioneers.

#4 I was enrolled in the Pioneers program, which was a Communist youth group. I was paired with a first-grader who gave me a book about a jackass named Don’t Know Anything who traveled to the sun and learned that he belonged back home working hard with his fellow citizens.
