Venya travels on a train from Moscow to Petushki, 130 km away, to meet the (current) love of his life. As the journey unfolds, his aversion for the world emerges in the form of increasingly fervent philosophical-drunken drivel. The lumpenproleterian Venya is a poet, womanizer and a drink-artist, a meta-physicist, a seeker of God and the finder of a paradise on earth called Petushki; among other things, he is the inventor of intoxicating potions called Komsomol Star, The Balsam of Caanan and Dog Guts; he is also a cable-fitter at the Moscow Sheremetyevo airport and the author of a patriotic statement uttered in profound spiritual delirium: You turned my country into a shitty hell where laughter is allowed and tears are forbidden.
