"Sobachje Serdze" (ru)

Mikhail Bulgakov writes the story in the 20s of the last century, when the time of the heroes has passed, and there remained everyday life, which is the test for a person. This is the height of the construction of socialism, the eternal apartment issue, the devastation in the houses and, most importantly - in the heads.

The "Sobachje Serdze" (ru), as well as many other works of genius Bulgakov - a unique fate. The work was written back in 1925, but for more than 60 years was under a ban, and was distributed only in samizdat. The release of the film with E. Evstigneev in the title role, received universal acclaim and attracted not only new readers, but also aroused the interest of many prominent theater directors who offered their interpretation of the legendary Bulgakov text.
