The history of communism recounts the visit of a Soviet officialist writer, Iuri Petrovsky, a few days before Stalin's death, in the Central Hospital for the Mentally Ill in Moscow. The purpose of the visit is to speak to the mentally ill of the communist regime because they believe that this will improve their health, but in reality it is nothing more than an excuse to talk about the benefits of the i system, yes indeed, find counter-revolutionaries pretending to be sick. The play narrates with irony the paroxysm that any totalitarian political system reaches sooner or later, but above all it is pure comedy, fins i tot grotesque, characteristic of contemporary traditional European humor.
