Moscova Epocii NEP în proza timpurie a lui Mihail Bulgakov
Moscow in the NEP Era in the Early Prose of Mikhail Bulgakov

Summary/Abstract: The debut of Mikhail Bulgakov took place in the spring of 1922 when he began publishing essays, feuilletons, stories, and satirical sketches in periodicals and newspapers. In his prose, which focuses on the immense metropolis of Moscow at the beginning of the 1920s, Mikhail Bulgakov describes the capital’s restoration after a decade marked by two wars, more precisely the First World War (1914–1917) and the Russian Civil War (1917–1921). The author’s narrative discourse focuses on some aspects of life, presented anecdotally, and offers the reader a moralizing ending. In this paper, we analysed the early short prose of Mikhail Bulgakov, which describes, in an anecdotal form of literary reportage, scenes from the metropole at the beginning of the 1920s. The atmosphere of social anarchy and economic depression, which prevailed during the civil conflict, left a disastrous mark on everyone in the capital, but thanks to the vigorous process of economic recovery and social order, a new social stability came about, and the soviet capital acquired a modern look.
