The White Guard

In 1920, the White Guard forces were finally defeated in the Caucasus, and the Soviet authority began implementing programs to educate the people, and there was only Bulgakov to play this role after he completely left the medical profession. He achieved great success after publishing his epic White Guard in 1923, which turned into one of the most successful plays in Soviet history: The Days of the Turgenevs, which Stalin himself watched about fifteen times. Bulgakov engaged in literary work, and as a free writer, he found himself in the grip of Soviet hell without being able to travel abroad, and perhaps he did not want that. Bulgakov, in his novel: White Guard, presents us with a unique kind of literature. Many Russian writers excelled in description, but what Bulgakov did in this work goes far beyond description. He provided us with a panoramic view of the city in a detailed and unique way, offering a highly accurate internal and external image of the place and characters. If the Turgenevs are the protagonists of the novel in theory, then the city is the true hero.
