Moscow in the 1930s is the consummate symbol of the Soviet paradise, a fairy-tale capital where, in Stalinâs words, Âlife has become better, life has become merrierâ. In Happy Moscow Platonov exposes the gulf between this premature triumphalÂism and the harsh reality of low living standards and even lower expectations. For in Stalinâs ideal city there is no longer a place for those who do not fit the bright, shining image of the new men and women of the future. The heroine, Moscow Chestnova, is an Everywoman, both virgin and whore, who flits from man to man, fascinated by the brave new world supposedly taking shape around her. In a variety of styles ranging from the grotesque to the sentimental to the absurd, Platonov lays bare the ways in which language itself has been debased, even borrowing slogans from Stalinâs own speeches for comic effect.
