A scene from The Days of the Turbins (1925)based on the novel The White Guard written by the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov (1891 - 1940) and first produced at the Moscow Art Theatre, under the direction of Konstantin Stanislavski, with scenic design by Aleksandr Golovin, on October 5, 1926
Critics were outraged that Bulgakov portrayed the white officers with a great deal of sympathy, but the public loved the play, as did Stalin himself. And at last, in April 1929 the MAT production was cancelled as a result of severe criticism in the Soviet press.
