For forty years Ivan Petrov careered, stumbled, staggered and rampaged all over the vast Soviet empire. Homeless (an illegal condition in the communist utopia), in and out of prison camps, almost always drunk, and with a gift for hilariously sending up the tragic absurdities of Soviet life, Ivan was a real-life Svejk. This is his unforgettable story, as told to Caroline Walton just before his death. The text is complemented by twelve original illustrations by Natalia Vetrova.;Cover; Title Page; Dedication; Contents; Epigraph; Preface; 1: A Town of Death; 2: Siberia; 3: Decembrists; 4: Prison; 5: Opera; 6: Central Asia; 7: Labour camp; 8: On the road; 9: Georgia; 10: Turkmenistan; 11: Beggars; 12: London; Afterword; Map of Ivan's Travels; Acknowledgements; Copyright.
