'Kyiv-City' is a fascinating essay by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theater figure Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891 - 1940). Bulgakov was born in Kyiv, but went to live in Moscow. These are his memories of a trip to his hometown, in which he describes its streets and houses, destroyed by war, talks about local attractions, churches and, of course, about the people of Kyivians, their customs and morals. Mikhail Bulgakov is also known as the author of the works 'The Extraordinary Adventures of the Doctor', 'Towel with a Rooster', 'Psalm', 'The Moscow Scenes', 'Journey through the Crimea', 'The Fatal Eggs', 'Egyptian Darkness', 'Khan's Fire', 'Hours of Life and Death'. Many of Mikhail Bulgakov's works were banned by Soviet censorship, and this very fact characterizes him as a free-thinking person. His talent is admired by readers all over the world, his works have been translated into different languages and films have been made based on many of them.
