Glory to the CPSU

Are you really going?
"Vanya asked, surprised, with a spark of amusement in his eyes. He and Slava were standing by the party administration building, drinking, oddly enough, beer."
Well, why not?
"Reasonably answered Slava. He took another sip; the beer was no longer cold, the coolness had gone from the drink, just as Vanya had predicted, and common sense had left Mashnov's skull."
It's 1967. Vanya and Slava are somewhat dissatisfied with the political situation... in fact, they are oppositionists.
And yesterday, while drunk, they started boasting, saying, "Slava, you should join the CPSU." To which Mashnov smirked slyly. And now, the very next day, they're standing in front of the administration building.
Joining the party was an interesting adventure, so I could chuckle at the communists. And tell everyone the details of Svetlana's nonsense...
