Speech by Anastasia Gordeeva about Bulgakov and Batumi
For the first time, Bulgakov visited Batumi in 1921. It was when he was going to emigrate to Turkey, but then he realized that he could not live far from his homeland.
The second visit took place in 1928 when Bulgakov arrived in Batumi with his wife Tatyana Belozerskaya. They walked for hours around the city and surrounding places. Bulgakov fantasized a lot and was in a state of creative inspiration and decided to write the novel The Master and Margarita.
