Description

In this presentation, Nikolai Krementsov looks at Mikhail Bulgakov’s famous novellas “Fateful Eggs” and “The Heart of a Dog” as an expression of two “scientific” revolutions that unfolded alongside, and in close interaction with, the Bolshevik Revolution: the experimental revolution in biomedical sciences and the concurrent dramatic upsurge in their cultural authority manifested in the rapid development of a new literary genre, science fiction.
