The title on this item names its work outright: *The Path of Flowers*, a new farce-comedy by Valentin Katayev. Katayev was a Soviet writer known for satire and light comedy, and the Soviet stage of the 1920s and 1930s was a lively venue for playwrights working in that vein. The flower motif gives the piece a natural link to Valentine's Day, though the record says little more about its staging or first production.
