Discover 'Batum', the most unknown work by Mikhail Bulgakov, where homage and veiled criticism of Stalin are intertwined. After years of censorship, a mysterious call prompts Bulgakov to direct the Moscow Art Theater, culminating in the creation of this work. Set in Georgia in the early 20th century, a young Stalin challenges authority, the Church, the police, and the state, organizing Georgian workers in search of a new way of life. Surrender to his repressors or a subtle irony that places Stalin in front of the mirror of his youth? Judge for yourself this fascinating work that defies conventional interpretations.
