In a detailed brief he has sent to participants for this year's bout of bacchanalia (in Russia of all places), insatiable party-goer Ted describes one of the hotels his guests will stay in as:   ''A standard communist-style hotel but housed in one of those wonderful Stalin-gothic wedding cake skyscrapers which dot the city.
