In what Iskander himself calls the book\u2019s seminal novella, the narrator meets a man who believes himself to be Lenin, thawed out after decades of cryogenic storage. The narrator endures a phantasmagorical account of what \u201CLenin\u201D thought and did during the October Revolution of 1917 and how another revolution is imminent.
