Bulgakov Museum (The Bad Apartment)
The Mikhail Bulgakov Museum is located in the famous "bad apartment" No. 50 at 10 Bolshaya Sadovaya Street, where the writer lived from 1921 to 1924. This is where the action of "The Master and Margarita" takes place, and where Woland arrives with his retinue.
History of the Building
The apartment building was constructed in 1903 by tobacco manufacturer Pigit. Bulgakov settled here in a communal flat, occupying one room with his wife. The harsh realities of communal living and colorful neighbors found their way into the writer's works, especially "The Master and Margarita."
