About this audiobook
Shifting Accommodation is a short humorous story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theatrical personage Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891 - 1940).
From the Diary of an ingenious comrade Polosukhin:
November 21.
Well, Moscow… What a city… Oh, I will tell
you now. There are no available apartments here.
Absolutely no vacant flats! I even had to send a
telegram to my wife and tell her to stay home and wait
for a while. I slept three nights in the bathtub at
Karabuev's apartment. Well, what can I say, not that
bad as it may seem, pretty comfortable, I would say,
just water dripping from time to time. Then I slept two
nights on a gas stove at Shchuevsky's apartment. In
Yelabuga, my hometown, people say that this stove is a
very convenient thing. Hell no, I say! Some screws are
sticking in here and there, and the cookmaid is
grumbling, obviously not happy about my sleeping
there...
December 23.
I'm done, I'm going back to Yelabuga…

Mikhail Bulgakov was born in 1891 in Kiev, in present-day Ukraine. He first trained in medicine but gave up his profession as a doctor to pursue writing.
