About the author
Venedikt Erofeev
32 books116 followersVenedikt Vasilyevich Erofeev (Венедикт Ерофеев) was a Russian writer.
He managed to enter the philology department of the Moscow State University but was expelled from the University after a year and a half because he did not attend compulsory military training.
Later he studied in several more institutes in different towns including Kolomna and Vladimir but he has never managed to graduate from any, usually being expelled due to his "amoral behaviour" (freethinking).
Between 1958 and 1975 Yerofeyev lived without propiska in towns in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania, also spending some time in Uzbekistan and Tadjikistan, doing different low-qualified and underpaid jobs.
Yerofeyev is best known for his 1969 poem in prose Moscow-Petushki (several English translations exist, including Moscow to the End of the Line and Moscow Stations). It is an account of a journey from Moscow to Petushki (Vladimir Oblast) by train, a journey soaked in alcohol. During the trip, the hero recounts some of the fantastic escapades he participated in, including declaring war on Norway, and charting the drinking habits of his colleagues when leader of a cable laying crew.
Yerofeyev died of throat cancer.

Очень меткая компиляция цитат из работ Ленина, показывающая реальный образ вождя мирового пролетариата без прикрас. Короткая работа, которой можно и нужно уделить немного своего времени.
Тов Зиновьеву:
«Не помните ли фамилию Кобы? Привет, Ульянов». (3 августа 1915).
Тов. Карпинскому:
«Большая просьба: узнайте фамилию Кобы» (9 ноября 1915).
1921 год: "Все театры советую положить в гроб".
Телеграмма апреля 1921 года: "Прошу Вас собрать совещание наркомов - об оздоровлении фабрик и заводов путем сокращения количества едоков"
И в Саратов: "Расстреливать, никого не спрашивая и не допуская идиотской волокиты"
