Halloween. Scenes of the provincial life of Russian emigration. Vlameli V.

The action of the works of Vladimir Vladmeli takes place in a variety of places: at customs between the Soviet Union and Romania, in the suburbs of Rome, in Minneapolis and in New York. His heroes, finding themselves in the United States, understand that it is not for nothing that many Americans welcome each other not the traditional “how are you?”, But less traditional, but much better reflecting life with the question: “How is the battle?” They also fight for their happiness, for the realization of their dreams. They experience victories and defeats, grief and joy, they argue with their superiors, quarrel and reconcile. The author describes their adventures with a lively, figurative language. His works have a lot of humor, but, having laughed at funny episodes, I want to cry.

this tragicomedy of human existence, Vladimir Vladmeli called the “scenes of the provincial life of Russian emigration.”
