Lake Baikal

Baikal

also: озеро Байкал, Lake Baikal

The great Siberian lake, invoked here as the absurdly remote, implausible setting where Tarantulov's fictional postscript claims the playlet was performed by amateur actors -- part of the joke's tell, alongside the nonexistent date '30 February.'
