Good for "50-plus" readers
I liked this collection. However, most of my '20-something'students had no idea of communism, Russia/USSR, collective thinking, etc.

Although I have not read the whole book, the stories in it are superb. They each have their own comical sense, but behind them there is a greater meaning. They reflect so much about Communist Russia, while being still enjoyable reading. A must.

Required Reading...For School,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scenes from the Bathhouse: And Other Stories of Communist Russia (Ann Arbor Paperbacks) (Paperback)
I have had to read this book on two separate occassions, both in high school and college. I still wonder why. While it does give a somewhat humorous look into everyday life in communist Russia, the stories have seemingly very little significance (perhaps that is the point?). I have trouble finding this book's relevance to classes. I guess some literary works are timeless...this one is not.
