'Mess Mend' series were written by Soviet poet and writer Marietta Shaginyan (1880-1982). The series about an American in Russia were created for the public in attempt to show ‘Red Nat Pinkerton’ to the masses. The series were very popular and indeed became the peak of Soviet pulp fiction. Lunacharsky wrote that it’s important to propagandize revolutionary ideas through the popular literature
of this kind.
