The Twelve Chairs: Bender's Road to the Caucasus
In 1927 a former nobleman and a charming con man chase twelve dining chairs, one of them hiding family jewels, across the Soviet Union. Ilf and Petrov's comic novel follows them from a sleepy provincial town through Moscow and the Volga to the spa of Pyatigorsk, the Caucasus road and the Crimean coast. The route marks six stops; Stargorod and Vasyuki are invented, so their pins are only candidate stand-ins.
