Verdenskrigen er ved at være forbi. Der har været revolution i Sankt Petersborg, Kiev er besat af tyskerne, og familien Turbins medlemmer - de voksne børn, læger, officerer - forventer at vanviddet skal høre op og er mest tilbøjelige til at opfatte situationen surrealistisk; som en forbigående tilstand. Men udenfor byen ligger adskillige hære: bolsjevikkerne, nationalistlederen Petljura og hans bevæbnede ukrainske bønderkarle, et par anarkisthære og polske rytterarméer.

The White Guard is less famous than Mikhail Bulgakov's comic hit, The Master and Margarita, but it is a lovely book, though completely different in tone. It is set in Kiev during the Russian revolution and tells a story about the war's effect on a middle-class family (not workers). The story was not politically correct and thereby contributed to Bulgakov's lifelong troubles with the Soviet authorities. It was, however, well-loved, and the novel was turned into a successful play at the time of its publication in 1967. Please note: This audiobook is in Russian.

Nothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. One spring afternoon, the Devil, trailing fire and chaos in his wake, weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow. Mikhail Bulgakov's fantastical, funny, and devastating satire of Soviet life combines two distinct yet interwoven parts, one set in contemporary Moscow, the other in ancient Jerusalem, each brimming with historical, imaginary, frightful, and wonderful characters.

Kiev suffers from abandonment by the Germans and takeover by the Soviet Bolsheviks. Streamlined for narration and the American ear.
