History of Russia & the Soviet Union in Humorous Verse

The dramatic history of Russia proves fertile ground for laughter in this volume of humorous verse by the author of Pets of the Great Dictators.

Sabrina P. Ramet is a serious academic with a seriously funny side. She has made major contributions to European history with her scholarly work on the former Yugoslavia. But her most unique contribution may be the well-informed and wackily executed poems in this volume.

No Russian is safe from Sabrina’s hammer-and-sickle wit. Even the most fearsome and formidable—Lenin, Stalin, Peter the Great, and many others—are shown to be buffoons in this collection of satirical poems as dry as a straight shot of vodka.
