Yes, it could be a review. Maybe someone was planning to do a segment on 'Last Week Tonight' about every Russian novel. It could explore the themes, characters, and historical context of various Russian novels in a satirical or informative way.
Perhaps it's about a Christmas that is not the typical, lively affair. The 'not a squeak of a mouse' might imply a lack of the small, everyday happenings that usually occur during Christmas. It could be a story of a Christmas in a desolate place or during a difficult time when the usual signs of celebration are missing.
Perhaps it means a reading list. That is, if one were to watch 'Last Week Tonight' every week and also read every Russian novel in a certain period. It could be a sort of cultural consumption plan for someone interested in both contemporary satire (from the show) and classic Russian literature.
Another option is 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky. This novel delves into the psychological turmoil of the protagonist after committing a crime, exploring themes of morality, guilt, and redemption. It's a very intense and thought - provoking read.
I'm not sure specifically which new Russian novels were discussed on 'Tonight' last week. However, the Russian literary scene is always evolving. Some contemporary Russian authors to look out for are Victor Pelevin and Ludmila Ulitskaya.
Well, 'Tonight Tonight A Christmas Story' might be a narrative centered around the magic of Christmas. It could involve characters going on an adventure on Christmas Eve. For example, they might be searching for the perfect Christmas tree in a snowy forest, and along the way, they meet different people or animals and have various encounters that teach them about the true meaning of Christmas, which could be love, sharing, and kindness.
