we have no member by the name of Arthur Dent.

story has it that he is/was an intergalactic traveller.

I googled him and came across this description  on Wikipedia:

 

"Dent barely escapes the Earth's destruction as it is annihilated to make way for a hyperspace bypass. He spends the next several years, still wearing his dressing gown, helplessly launched from crisis to crisis while trying to straighten out his lifestyle. He rather enjoys tea, but seems to have trouble obtaining it in the far reaches of the galaxy."

The connection is the Russian words "there is such a party" on the picture which resonates with my "there is such a member".

References Lenin's famous reply to rhetorical question about whether any party was willing to take responsibility for governing Russia alone and in opposition to the others posed at Congress of Soviets in period leading to October Revolution.

As I said the wikipedia description of Arthur Dent you linked is a reasonable description.
