Bulgakov museum
A few days ago my sister and I decided to go to Bulgakov Museum. For information, Mikhail Bulgakov was a Russian writer, playwright, theater manager and actor. Why was him? Because we liked his work and wanted to learn more about him and his life, at first. At second, it wondered his museum in Moscow that commemorates his work and life is situated in a ‘bad flat’ how he called it in one of his novels. He changed a few apartments in Moscow, but that one was the most abominable and hateful for him. His bad feeling to it was so strong that when he wrote his famous The Master and Margarita, he settled up all evil spirits who visited Moscow in that flat. It’s a funny and truly absorbing book telling about devil visiting Moscow. Now that ‘Bad flat’ gathers people who needed more information about him, just that very flat had become monument to his literary activities. What was it? Irony or sarcasm? Destiny or mysticism? I don’t know. Nobody knows. There are just a few suppositions. One of them sounds like it was his punishment for being ungrateful. His first wife devoted her life to him and was with him all his hard revolution times. When he left her his words were, ‘The God will punish me because of you’. Perhaps God did it in his own way.
I remember the time when I was reading it. I remember all feeling I got from the reading this book with mysterious heroes. The book, it’s dialogues, heroes hadn’t left me for long time. I was so astounded with mixing usual citizens and evils, created confusions in the city, of course, love and devotion of the main heroine. It was so realistic that sometimes I felt inside the city, unwitting accomplice…
I enjoyed visiting this museum. Of course, I learned a lot and even more in the spring I’ll make 4-hour excursion to the places pointed out in The Master and Margarita.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I'm learning English because I just like it. I neither look for work nor study abroad. Just want to speak English properly. Of course, make friends from all over the world. I live in Moscow now but I was born and grew up in Bishkek, the Kyrgyz Republic. I moved to Russia 5 years ago. I like people, especially interesting and with a good sense of humor. I enjoy swimming, traveling, camping, hiking, reading and nice music.
