After waiting a long time in the queue he discovered that the soap, was of appalling quality, emitting a poisonous odour. The price of a measure of the soap was a rouble) and ninety kopeks, and the clerk indifferently waved back Sulimar's roffered two roubles with the rejoinder "We have no change", Having surmounted this hurdle by telling the clerk to keep the chan- ge.

of a Soviet law, considerably more) honoured in the breach than Ini the dbservance, which makes il a criminal offence to turn out goods of outrageously bad quality..
The narrative of Sulimov's crusade for better soap was pub-i Hished, perhaps with a view to encouraging other-Sovlet citizens to protest more energetically when ja long period of waiting in a
queue is rewarded by some cons-{ picuously bad product. However, the endurance of the ordinary buyer. lacking Sulimov's prestige,
