"The History of a Town" is a caustic, ironic work in which, under the guise of a "chronicle" of the fictional town of Foolov, the author mercilessly exposes the typical vices of Russian society—the stupidity, tyranny, and bribery of those in power, the embezzlement and sycophancy of officials, laziness, ignorance, and obscurantism. Unfortunately, it must be acknowledged that Saltykov-Shchedrin's Homerically humorous and cruel phantasmagoria remains relevant today.
