Moscow to the End of the Line is a classic of Russian humor and social commentary. The story follows a fired cable fitter who embarks on a binge and hops a train to Petushki, where his most beloved of trollops awaits.

Throughout the journey, he delivers a magnificent monologue to angels, fellow passengers, and the world at large. His musings cover a range of topics including alcohol, politics, society, philosophy, the pains of love, and, of course, more alcohol.
