A Russian (Soviet) apartment complex. One apartment becomes available. Who will get it - Voinovich (the writer) and his pregnant wife, or the colonel, who wants to add it on to his apartment to put his new American toilet in? A short yet classic Russian comedy.

I read this book when in a Russian Liturature class. At the time I had a Russian girlfriend who actually lived in the apartment complex where the story took place. This made it interesting. It is in the same class and genre as "The Inspector General" or "Oblomov".
