About this audio guide
This guide to the Bulgakov Museum in Kyiv stands you beside one object in the dining room of the house where Mikhail Bulgakov grew up between nineteen oh-six and nineteen nineteen. It follows how a family stove became something close to a household shrine, and how those rooms were reborn as the Turbin home in The White Guard. Along the way you'll meet the novel's characters, rendered in white among the family's real belongings. Best heard standing in the dining room, close to the tiles.
