Vera Pavlovna's Ninth Dream

Vera Pavlovna's Ninth Dream (Russian: «Девятый сон Веры Павловны») is a short story by Victor Pelevin, published in 1991.

by Nikolai Chernyshevsky, where the main character's name was also Vera Pavlovna and the description of her four dreams was part of the novel.

She reads Ramacharak and Blavatsky, watches films by Fassbinder and Bergman, and is a cleaner in the men's public toilet, which makes her image somewhat caricatured.

After some time a picture appeared on the wall, then the director of the toilet brought in a tape recorder and loudspeakers.

And in one of her meetings, Vera Pavlovna struck a terrible blow with an axe on Manyasha's head, figuratively killing the part of her soul that connected her with reality.

[2] In her hallucinations, the woman found herself at the Last Judgment, where she was sentenced to eternal imprisonment as one of the heroes of a realistic work of Russian literature.
