White Guard

The White Guard - is largely autobiographical novel based on personal impressions of the writer. Between the events of 1918-1919, described in the novel, and writing a novel took five years that had a profound influence on the worldview of the author and in many ways changed his views on experiences. Bulgakov knew that the vicissitudes of war is not determined by personal characteristics of those statesmen and military leaders who participated in them - these figures were perceived them now only as "labels" of the events. These "shortcuts" were and Hetman Skoropadsky, and Ataman Petlura narkovoenmor and Trotsky. In the novel "The White Guard" Bulgakov inclined to think that Petliura and other figures were a "myth" that in fact the events were determined not to, but "four hundred and forty times four hundred thousand men with hearts full of malice unassuaged" to "ofitserne" and landlords .
