This book includes works by Mikhail Bulgakov dedicated to the tragedy of the Russian nobility and intelligentsia during the terrible years of the revolution and the Civil War. The best people of Russia turned out to be defenseless before the wind of time carrying them away. They can try to fight the inevitable – or accept it as a given, they can save their lives by fleeing abroad – or they can meekly wait for their fate to be decided at home. This, in fact, does not change anything. They are doomed – and helpless before the cruel time in which they happened to live.
