"Heart of a Dog," a novella by Mikhail Bulgakov from 1925, offers a sharp satire on Bolshevism during the NEP period when communism in the USSR appeared to be waning. This allegorical tale critiques the communist revolution and its futile efforts to "radically transform humanity." Initially banned in the Soviet Union, the novella was clandestinely distributed through samizdat, reflecting its enduring subversive appeal.This third edition of "Heart of a Dog" was originally serialized in the London magazine "Student" in 1968. The novella was first published in book form by YMCA-Press in Paris in 1969. According to N. A. Struve, the chief editor, the manuscript had been stored in archives for 42 years before its unexpected discovery and subsequent release. It wasn't until 1987 that the novella was published in the USSR in the magazine "Znamya."
