Flight

Set against the backdrop of the waning Russian Civil War, the narrative follows a small group of Russian refugees as they journey from Crimea to Constantinople and finally to Paris. This tragic comedy captures their struggles and resilience amidst chaos, reflecting the broader disintegration of the White Army. Despite its poignant themes and rich character development, the play was never performed during Bulgakov's lifetime due to Stalin's opposition, adding a layer of historical significance to its story.
