Excerpt from a 2003 novel “A Train-ride to Kandahar” by Russian author Venedikt Yerofeyev. A spiritual successor to his famous work “Moscow To The End of The Line”, the novel tells the journey of a young alcoholic Russian soldier travelling on a military train from Russia to a base in Afghanistan as part of joint US-Russian anti-Taliban military operations. As the train makes it scheduled stops to pick up supplies & passengers, the protagonist conducts philosophical debates with fellow Russian soldiers, Tajik & Uzbek train-yard workers, an Iranian Shia cleric, a US businessman and a group of American PMCs assigned to protect him, a British journalist and an Indian linguist. The novel criticizes through satire the state of post-Soviet Russia & adjacent states, Western capitalism, Islamism, the military-industrial complex and the cyclical wars in Afghanistan. Initially praised as one of the greatest & most profound works of Russian literature in the 21st century, it would later be accused by segments of literary academia of supposedly being racist towards Muslims.
“How to explain the situation in Europe to an American? Good question. Well imagine this — what if you found out today that the Black Panther Party and the Ku Klux Klan are actually one and the same? Sure, your average Klansman and Panther grunt have nothing in common & each one believes that they are doing their duty to further the “14 words” or “fight whitey” or what-have-you. But what the lower-ranks don’t realize is that the Grand Wizard and the B.P.P. President are actually best chums, working hand-in-glove. Furthermore, what if you learned that both of them get their salary & marching-orders from John F. Kennedy, who (contrary to popular opinion) it turns out DIDN’T die in 1963 and is rather alive & well for a 100+ year-old man? Imagine the reaction of the American public to this news and you’ll have some inkling of an idea as to what’s going on in Europe right now.”
