People who want a solid but emotionally survivable primer on what life is like under authoritarianism should consider reading Bulgakov's MASTER AND MARGARITA. The dreariness interspersed with terror--it's all there, but it's made digestible by one of the finest senses of humor in all writing.

Seriously, Bulgakov's sense of humor can match that of Voltaire or Shakespeare. I'm actually not sure who had it better.
