The alternative city centre pub Bolsevita is located somewhere in the middle of the upheavals. It is the local of engineer Sergei,who sells knives on the former Comecon market in order to scrape enough money togetherto move on to the West. Yura and Vadim are musicians who prefer to stay here. Erzsi was aRussian teacher who now lets her flat to Russians. An English and an American girl arecurious about everything.
