Goluboi Ogoniok (Blue Twinkle) and Goluboie Salo (Blue Lard) have something in common. And I'm not talking about their "blue" part.
Both of these cultural phenomena are like some kind of idiotically insane carnival, waking up from which just brings you in some other deranged insane dream. But the first one is state sponsored event shown on TV every New Year, and the second one is a postmodernist novel deconstructing all those degraded demential dreams of totalitarianism with handsome leader of soviet people Stalin having sex with count Khrushyov and after that visiting his old friend Hitler, with whom he divided the whole Europe and nuked Britain after that.
