Possibly this Body Electric. It’s at least about the right subject, but I’d have swore I’d read it much earlier than 1998, and my copy (buried somewhere) probably had a purple cover.
The cover on the hardcover looks more familiar, and at least it’s from 1985.
Which Body Electric? I don’t see it in Becker and Selden, but maybe I don’t know what to look for.

Wikipedia makes it sound like the right book.
Where were you searching? You had the authors right.
I looked at that book on google books. I searched for “Soviet,” “elan,” etc, and did not see the story you mentioned.
Added: Amazon says that the book uses these words a lot more than google says, but I didn’t look at many hits.
