![]() ![]() For the first-mentioned group, life is dismal even within the privileged "Moscorep" (Moscow Communist Republic). Most people have "ordinary needs", but a chosen few have "extraordinary needs". Within the wall everyone gets everything by the communist principle, "according to his needs", though their needs are not decided by themselves, but by the Genialissimus. The rest of the Soviet Union, where people barely survive, has been separated by a Berlin type of wall from the "paradise" of Moscow, where communism has been realized. ![]() ![]() The decay from which the Soviet Union suffered has worsened. The country is ruled by CPGB – The Communist Party of State Security, a merger of the Communist Party and KGB. The ideology has changed somewhat, into a hodgepodge of Marxism–Leninism and Russian Orthodoxy (the Genialissimus is also Patriarch). After Vladimir Lenin's dream of the world revolution narrowed down to Joseph Stalin's theory of "Socialism in one country", Genialissimus has decided to start from building "Communism in one city", namely in Moscow. After the "Great August Revolution", the new leader referred to as "Genialissimus" has changed the Soviet Union. The Russian author Kartsev, living in Munich in 1982 (just like Voinovich himself), time travels to the Moscow of 2042. Tehran-based Borj Publishing has released 'Moscow 2042' in 420 pages. The novel which is considered to be a masterpiece of its genre has been translated into Persian by Zainab Yunesi. ![]()
