The partners have a competitor in the priest Vostrikov, who has also learned of the secret from his dying parishioner.The competing treasure-hunters travel throughout Russia, which enables the authors to show us glimpses of little towns, Moscow, and Caucasian resorts,and also have the three central characters meet a wide variety of people -Soviet ureaucrats, newspapermen, survivors of the pre-revolutionary propertied classes, provincials, and Muscovites.



Thanks so much. Is there someone out there who could scan "Ilf and Petrov's American road trip"? I managed to get some 50 pages from Google Book search, so we would only need a 100 or so more. Maybe someone else could try and grab what they can with Google Book Downloader, cause every time I tried I got somewhat different pages. Maybe if 3-4 ppl tried from other locations we could put together the whole book. Here's what I got http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X6BVUIH6
