Proletkult

Proletkult

Wu Ming

In 1907, in Tbilisi, Georgia, a Bolshevik revolutionary named Leonid Voloch assaults a postal carriage protected by Cossacks and flees on a train with the help of a Georgian comrade. They jump off the moving train and the Georgian leads him through a forest to a strange transparent sphere, no less than eight meters high and with various presences inside, which opens to receive them. At that moment the Georgian unbuttons the collar of his coat, slides the fingers of both hands and removes the mask that served as a face, including dark hair and mustache. Then an alien being with vaguely human features appears ... Many years later, the supposed daughter of Leonid, who is also a supposed alien, looks for her father to take him back to the planet Nacun. To do this, he visits Alexandr Bodgánov in the already revolutionary Moscow, a real character who seems to have come out of a novel: doctor, economist, philosopher, founder and ideologist of the proletarian art movement called Proletkult, science fiction writer and director of a pioneering transfusion center in the cure of nervous diseases (and perhaps in the pursuit of eternal youth). And so, in this pastiche of socialist realism and science fiction (also socialist), there appear exiled revolutionaries in Capri, secret policemen, interplanetary civilizations organized in perfect communist societies, Capital and a landmark of socialist science fiction titled -how not- Estrella red, Lenin and Stalin ...
