The book is dedicated to the reflection in the works of Mikhail Bulgakov - the novel "The White Guard", the plays "Days of the Turbins" and "Running", stories - of the realities of the civil war in Ukraine in 1918-1920. The appearance of this book right now is not accidental: its author survived two Maidans and the beginning of the current Civil War in Kyiv and had the opportunity to verify the relevance of the problems raised by the writer. The book is intended for readers who love their native history and classic Russian Soviet literature.
