Synopsis
Heart of a Dog is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, considered as a biting satire of the New Soviet man. It was written in 1925 at the height of the NEP period, when Communism appeared to be weakening in the Soviet Union. However, its publication was initially prohibited in Russia, and it was officially released in the country only in 1987. It is "one of novelist Mikhail Bulgakov's most beloved stories" featuring a stray dog "named Sharik who takes human form as a slovenly proletarian.
