47.  PRESSING THE ROTTEN SPOTS OF GOLDEN NIMBUS

In the course of the "Behind the C.A." action we discovered at the side of the road two blue silk curtains set onto metallic framework. Such curtains are often used in black staff cars (in ministerial black ‘Volga’).

The silk fabric was perfectly fresh and clean, no signs of an accident could be seen around.

Makarevich proposed to upholster with this silk the binding of the fourth (this one) volume of "Journeys to the Countryside" series. Panitkov agreed and did so. Makarevich suggested titling this performance as "Pressing the rotten spots of golden nimbus".
