Zoyka‘s Apartment

‘Zoyka‘s Apartment‘ is a tragic farce in three acts by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theater figure Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891–1940). The action takes place in Moscow, shortly after the Bolshevik revolution. The chairman of the house committee, Comrade Portupeya, breaks into Zoya Mikhailovna‘s apartment and reports that her six-room apartment is to be ‘densified.‘ They say, in the bourgeoisie way, one should occupy such living space, and the free rooms need to be moved in with new tenants... Other famous works of Mikhail Bulgakov are ‘The Cup of Life‘, ‘Chanson d‘Eté‘, ‘The Steel Windpipe‘, ‘The Days of the Turbins‘, ‘Under a Glass Sky‘, ‘Forty Forties‘, ‘Red Stone Moscow‘, ‘The Cabal of the Holy One‘, ‘I Killed‘, ‘The Adventures of Chichikov‘. Many of Mikhail Bulgakov‘s works were prohibited by Soviet censorship, and this very fact characterizes him as a free-thinking person. His talent is admired by readers all over the world, his works have been translated into different languages and films have been made based on many of them.
