Tsuwm's wwftd is "empyrean", too beautiful a word to have been used in the quote he gives:
"Then in 1962 [Karpinsky] joined the empyrean of the
adult Communist world. He was promoted to Pravda's
editorial board heading the department of Marxism-
Leninism. He had made it."
- David Remnick,
Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire
A much more suitable word would have been "tartarean" = "infernal"
