The hero of the story “Heart of a Dog” is professor of medicine Philip Filippovich Preobrazhensky. He deals with the then fashionable problem of human rejuvenation. We must pay tribute to the scientist’s talent. He is known for his works abroad. Hard worker: receives patients, and then, in the evening, studies medical literature. The professor is no stranger to small earthly joys: he loves to eat deliciously, shine in respected society in expensive clothes, chat with his assistant Bormental on various slippery topics. In a word, a typical intellectual to whom the Soviet government had not yet managed to completely cut off, as they say, oxygen. However, the Bolsheviks are quite happy with such a scientist: he is not involved in politics.
The main events unfold after the appearance of the mongrel Sharik in the professor’s house. His character is surprisingly consonant with “homo sovieticus”: the dog is ready to do anything for a piece of sausage, he has a quarrelsome and aggressive character. Passing by the doorman, Sharik thinks: “I wish I could pinch his proletarian calloused foot.” And he looks at the stuffed owl with the following feelings: “And this owl is rubbish. Impudent. We will explain it."
The professor, passionate about science, does not notice what kind of monster he brought into the house. As an experiment, he transplants human seminal glands into Sharik, dreaming of benefiting humanity. Before the eyes of the amazed scientist, the dog gradually turns into a man.
Sharik, or now Polygraph Polygraphovich Sharikov, quickly finds his social niche in human society. Everything is happening as in the Soviet state: the lower classes, having seized power, begin to crowd out everything that previously occupied this social living space. As a result, his “parent” Preobrazhensky almost ends up on the street, and only his old connections save him from Sharikov’s lawlessness.
Bulgakov shows psychological type a Russian scientist who had not yet encountered all the “delights” of the Bolshevik regime. They also stroked his fur. But he, carried away by his developments, did not notice that he himself had created such a representative of harsh power.
The ball literally snatches the scientist from the light. Behind the ridiculousness of the plot lies the deep tragedy of the Russian scientific intelligentsia, which in those years unwittingly helped the Bolsheviks strengthen their positions. The Sharikovs gradually advanced to all the highest echelons of power and began not only to poison fate normal people, but also to solve it. They began to define and foreign policy countries.
The professor, in late repentance, laments his mistake: “I cared about something completely different, about eugenics, about improving the human race. And then I ran into rejuvenation.” Realizing his fatal mistake, the professor becomes a participant in the crime: on the advice of Bormental, they decide to get rid of Sharikov and free humanity from this nightmare.
The professor decides to perform another operation and returns Sharikov to his previous state.
The ending of the story, however, is not happy, because outside the walls of the professor’s house, where the dog Sharik is sleeping peacefully, there are many people infected with Sharikov’s microbe, and they will still do many bitter things in the country.
The New Year of 1925 began successfully for Bulgakov. The almanac “Nedra”, in which his “Diaboliad” and “Fatal Eggs” were published, commissioned him to write a story. Two months later (March 7), at a meeting of writers “Nikitin Subbotniks”, he reads the first part of the new work, and a little later - the second. They will start talking about the story, the Moscow Art Theater will offer to stage it, stage the play on its stage. Everything is going just fine, if not for the denunciation. High party official Lev Kamenev imposes a fatal resolution and prohibits publication.
Bulgakov, Professor Preobrazhensky: a long journey to the homeland
“The Heart of a Dog” was first published abroad in 1968, almost simultaneously in two countries: Germany and England. She will return home only in 1987, will be published in the magazine “Znamya”, and before that will be distributed throughout the country in typewritten texts of samizdat. Within a year, viewers will see the two-part television series of the same name (premiere on November 19) directed by Vladimir Bortko. The film stars wonderful actors: Evgeny Evstigneev, Boris Plotnikov, Nina Ruslanova, Roman Kartsev.
Since then, for the majority of people inhabiting the post-Soviet space, Professor Preobrazhensky (“Heart of a Dog”), book, film and image have merged in Evgeniy Evstigneev. It is impossible to imagine Philip Philipovich differently; there is not enough imagination. Two personalities: literary hero and the actor is a single organic phenomenon, a fusion of literature and cinema.
First film adaptation: a different point of view from Italy
Italian cinema discovered Bulgakov in the 70s of the last century. Italians made films based on Bulgakov’s works “The Master and Margarita” and “Fatal Eggs”. Director Alberto Lattuada, a classic of Italian neorealism, enthusiastically took on the film adaptation of the story. Filmed in Belgrade. Main role played by the Swedish popular artist Max von Sydow. Bulgakov (Professor Preobrazhensky, as interpreted by the master of cinema, is an intellectual involved in the rise to power of madmen, intoxicated by the ideas of communism and fascism, might not have approved of such an interpretation of the image. The intelligentsia here is not a victim of the system - she is its ideologist, the creator of super-ideas that were picked up by the poorly educated most. His hands are dirty, the director takes a long time. close up shows the scientist's bloody medical gloves. He is greedy, obsessed with luxury, eats delicacies in front of the servants, thereby emphasizing the social gap between them. The film focuses on the episode of the burning of Engels' correspondence with Kautsky in an oven. Subsequently, the fascists will do the same with objectionable books. In short, in the Italian interpretation, the image of Professor Preobrazhensky is extremely unsympathetic. The other is closer and dearer to us.
“You need to be able to eat...”
Preobrazhensky (professor) is a man of 60 years old, he wears a sharp beard and a fluffy mustache that make him look like French knights. Glasses with expensive frames shine on his face, and there is a “golden picket fence” in his mouth. At home he wears an azure robe and red shoes. On the street - a fur coat on a fox, sparkling with a spark. Under the outerwear there is a black suit made of English cloth, and on the stomach there is a gold chain. His voice flows through the apartment like a command trumpet. He is imperious, full of majestic dignity, imposing, leisurely, thoughtful.
Immediately a detail enters, small and detailed, which transforms Philip Philipovich from a heavy, living statue of an academic scientist into an elderly man with established, sweet, slightly funny habits. He hums endlessly, loves opera, smokes cigars, knows a lot about good alcohol and enjoys eating only healthy food. This is the wise one of the rich life experience a person who loves sedate conversation and believes that “devastation is not in closets, but in heads.” His clear, clear thoughts, full of irony, amaze with their objectivity and consistency. Professor Preobrazhensky, the quotes he practically uses have long become popular.
Prototypes of Philip Philipovich
Philologists believe that there were several prototypes. Preobrazhensky (professor) - a certain collective image luminary of that time. The list is headed by the writer’s uncle, gynecologist Nikolai Pokrovsky. Firstly, the descriptions of the apartments are the same: the same luxurious and large, the same heavy, expensive furniture. Secondly, external resemblance. The writer's first wife recalled that she immediately recognized this anger, flaring nostrils, hot temper and singing arias.
The Frenchman and doctor Charles Brown-Séquard, having reached 70 years old, decided to rejuvenate himself and came up with a medicine from the testes of rabbits. In 1889 he gave a report at the Paris scientific society, declaring himself young and vigorous. The doctor's research became a sensation, but not for long. rise vitality was bigger psychological nature, because the doctor soon withered and died.
The experiment was also continued by a French scientist, originally from Russia, Samuil Volkov, who grafted tissue from monkey testicles into humans. A line of people lined up to see him, wanting to experience the joy of a second youth, but one of the rich patients died, and Volkov was called a charlatan. Researchers of Bulgakov's work are inclined to classify the scientists Bekhterev, Pavlov and other famous doctors and researchers of that time as prototypes.
Let's remember not the film, but the text. Preobrazhensky, a professor, receives patients, and a homeless dog Sharik watches over them. He is disgusted by the smell of perfume and cream long johns, decorated with hateful cat faces, of a strange-looking man. Then a giggling woman, unwilling to admit how old she is, babbles about young lover, card sharper. The dog's "fresh eye" takes these people out of their usual medical context. For a doctor they are just patients; for an animal they are something unpleasant and disgusting. The story rises eternal theme the moral responsibility of the scientist for the world and its destinies. Humanity has witnessed more than once how scientific discovery turned against him, killed, maimed, brought suffering.
“What a reptile, and also a proletarian!”
The book begins with an amazing monologue from a homeless mongrel. The cook of the canteen for normal meals for employees of the Central Council of the National Economy (what is the name) poured boiling water on his left side. The street is cold and deserted, the wind is blowing. He would hide in the gateway and lick his wound, but the enemy, the janitor, “the most vile scum” of all proletarians, would definitely kill him. A sweet smell spreads along the street fried onions and porridge. It's the firefighters having dinner. The dog gratefully remembers the lordly cook of the Tolstoy Counts, Vlas. Now there are no such people. The dog sees a typist running down the street. The wind flutters the skirt, underneath which is washed out underwear. She is wearing fildepers stockings, a gift from her lover, for which the libertine will demand sophisticated love. There is no joy for the unfortunate person: they deducted from their meager salary, their lungs are in disarray, they don’t have enough for cinema, and for women it is the only consolation in life. The girl hides behind the door of the dining room, from which there is the smell of cabbage soup with rotten corned beef.
“The dog stood on its hind legs and performed some kind of prayer in front of Philip Philipovich.”
The dog is delighted with his savior to the point of violent canine exaltation. He is loyal and ready to endure even a collar. A world-famous scientist appears in the aura of his greatness. The tenants tremble before him; one call to an influential patron solves the problem of the threatening “compaction”. He reasons extensively and wisely, like a man, deeply knower of life. Professor Preobrazhensky will speak weightily and to the point about the devastation. We will remember. Professor Preobrazhensky, the quotes we repeat are a whole world, he delights in his insight.
“There’s absolutely no point in learning to read when you can already smell meat a mile away.”
Everything will end with the transformation of Sharik into Poligraf Poligrafovich. This is no longer dear Sharik, but Klim Chugunkin, a heavy drunkard who plays the balalaika in taverns. Impudent, dark force will turn the well-established life of the house upside down: reception will become impossible, the flood will carry water onto the landing, Sharikov’s friends will steal galoshes and the owner’s personalized expensive cane from the hallway. The fruit of human hands is more terrible than Shvonder: the day will come and Sharikov will sweep him out of his way and destroy him. The danger is terrible because it grows from within; it is impossible to escape from it. The owner of the apartment himself is changing before our eyes. Bormenthal will notice how haggard he is, hunched over, smaller, grumbling like an old man. Preobrazhensky, a professor and scientist, is deep in thought; a black thought about murder is maturing, expanding and depressing him. This is the price to pay for the purity of a scientific idea. And he utters the bitter famous words about the pointlessness of artificially fabricating Spinozas, when any woman can easily give birth to them, just as Madame Lomonosova gave birth to her famous one in Kholmogory. The brilliant experiment of Professor Preobrazhensky is meaningless.
Subject of the work
At one time, M. Bulgakov’s satirical story caused a lot of talk. In “Heart of a Dog” the heroes of the work are bright and memorable; The plot is fantasy mixed with reality and subtext, in which sharp criticism of the Soviet regime is openly read. Therefore, the work was very popular in the 60s among dissidents, and in the 90s, after its official publication, it was even recognized as prophetic.
The theme of the tragedy of the Russian people is clearly visible in this work; in “Heart of a Dog” the main characters enter into an irreconcilable conflict with each other and will never understand each other. And, although the proletarians won in this confrontation, Bulgakov in the novel reveals to us the whole essence of the revolutionaries and their type of new man in the person of Sharikov, leading us to the idea that they will not create or do anything good.
Main characters " Heart of a Dog“There are only three, and the narrative is mainly told from Bormenthal’s diary and through the dog’s monologue.
Characteristics of the main characters
Sharikov
A character who appeared as a result of an operation from the mongrel Sharik. A transplant of the pituitary gland and gonads of the drunkard and rowdy Klim Chugunkin turned a sweet and friendly dog into Poligraf Poligrafych, a parasite and a hooligan.
Sharikov embodies all the negative traits of the new society: he spits on the floor, throws cigarette butts, does not know how to use the restroom and constantly swears. But this is not even the worst thing - Sharikov quickly learned to write denunciations and found a calling in killing his eternal enemies, cats. And while he deals only with cats, the author makes it clear that he will do the same with people who stand in his way.
Bulgakov saw this base power of the people and a threat to the entire society in the rudeness and narrow-mindedness with which the new revolutionary government resolves issues.
Professor Preobrazhensky
An experimenter who uses innovative developments in solving the problem of rejuvenation through organ transplantation. He is a famous world scientist, a respected surgeon, whose “speaking” surname gives him the right to experiment with nature.
I was used to living in grand style - servants, a house of seven rooms, luxurious dinners. His patients are former nobles and high revolutionary officials who patronize him.
Preobrazhensky is a respectable, successful and self-confident person. The professor, an opponent of any terror and Soviet power, calls them “idlers and idlers.” He considers affection the only way to communicate with living beings and denies the new government precisely for its radical methods and violence. His opinion: if people are accustomed to culture, then the devastation will disappear.
The rejuvenation operation yielded an unexpected result - the dog turned into a human. But the man turned out to be completely useless, uneducable and absorbing the worst. Philip Philipovich concludes that nature is not a field for experiments and he interfered with its laws in vain.
Dr. Bormenthal
Ivan Arnoldovich is completely and completely devoted to his teacher. At one time Preobrazhensky accepted live participation in the fate of a half-starved student - he enrolled him in the department, and then took him on as an assistant.
The young doctor tried in every possible way to develop Sharikov culturally, and then completely moved in with the professor, as it became more and more difficult to cope with the new person.
The apotheosis was the denunciation that Sharikov wrote against the professor. IN climax When Sharikov took out a revolver and was ready to use it, it was Bromenthal who showed firmness and toughness, while Preobrazhensky hesitated, not daring to kill his creation.
The positive characterization of the heroes of “Heart of a Dog” emphasizes how important honor and self-dignity are for the author. Bulgakov described himself and his doctors-relatives in many of the same traits as both doctors, and in many ways would have acted the same way as them.
Shvonder
The newly elected chairman of the house committee, who hates the professor as a class enemy. This is a schematic hero, without deep reasoning.
Shvonder completely bows to the new revolutionary government and its laws, and in Sharikov he sees not a person, but a new useful unit of society - he can buy textbooks and magazines, participate in meetings.
Sh. can be called Sharikov’s ideological mentor; he tells him about his rights in Preobrazhensky’s apartment and teaches him how to write denunciations. The chairman of the house committee, due to his narrow-mindedness and lack of education, always hesitates and gives in in conversations with the professor, but this makes him hate him even more.
Other heroes
The list of characters in the story would not be complete without two au pairs - Zina and Daria Petrovna. They recognize the superiority of the professor, and, like Bormenthal, are completely devoted to him and agree to commit a crime for the sake of their beloved master. They proved this at the time of the repeated operation to transform Sharikov into a dog, when they were on the side of the doctors and accurately followed all their instructions.
You have become acquainted with the characteristics of the heroes of Bulgakov’s “Heart of a Dog,” a fantastic satire that anticipated the collapse of Soviet power immediately after its emergence - the author, back in 1925, showed the whole essence of those revolutionaries and what they were capable of.

Work test
Professor Preobrazhensky is a respectable, successful man of advanced years. Sharik immediately notes: “It is a citizen, not a comrade, and even, most likely, a master. Closer - clearer - sir. Do you think I judge by my coat? Nonsense. Nowadays, many proletarians wear coats. True, the collars are not the same, there’s nothing to say about that, but from a distance they can still be confused. But by the eyes, you can’t confuse them both up close and from a distance. Oh, eyes are a significant thing."
He lived in post-revolutionary Moscow, at the address: - Kalabukhovsky House, Prechistenka 24, in a large seven-room apartment. Has servants - Zina and Daria.
Since the professor is a European luminary, his fees and clients are appropriate - former nobles and high-ranking officials from the management.
A young novice doctor, Dr. Bormental, helps him in his work.
The professor is confident in himself, has clear life principles, does not like the proletariat and Soviet power in general. He believes that they are idle and empty-headed. He is an opponent of terror and declares that affection is the only way to communicate with living beings. A dangerous position for the time, but the professor has high-ranking patients who defend him. Thus, Shvonder’s attempt to launch an attack on the surgeon’s rooms was completely interrupted by Pyotr Alekseevich.
It should be noted that the professor loves to eat deliciously and exquisitely and understands a lot about alcoholic beverages. He is a supporter of the division of labor. When he works he doesn’t think about pleasure. When he is resting he does not think about work.
Experiments with rejuvenation led Professor Preobrazhensky to the idea of conducting a bold experiment - transplanting the human pituitary gland and seminal glands into a dog. The experiment was a success. True, the personality of the deceased used in the experiment left much to be desired. As a result, the dog turned into a man - the drunkard and cattle Poligraf Poligrafovich Sharikov ().
After much torment, ordeal, loss of nerves and income, the professor decides to turn a man into a dog again through an operation.
He realizes his mistake and understands that nature is a temple, not a field for experiments, and that it was in vain that he interfered with its laws.
Quotes and phrases from Professor Preobrazhensky:
Take off your pants!
I, madam, will insert the ovaries of... a monkey.
“We’re coming to you, professor,” said one of them, who had a shock of thick curly hair rising a quarter of an arshin on his head, “on this matter...
“It’s no use for you, gentlemen, to walk around without galoshes in this weather,” Philip Philipovich interrupted him admonishingly, “firstly, you’ll catch a cold, and, secondly, you left marks on my carpets, and all my carpets are Persian.”
- First of all, we are not gentlemen!
- First of all, are you a man or a woman?
- And my dear sir, I ask you to take off your headdress.
- I am not your dear sir!
- Was it you who moved into Fyodor Pavlovich Sablin’s apartment?
“Us,” Shvonder answered.
- God, the Kalabukhov house has disappeared! - Philip Philipovich exclaimed in despair and clasped his hands.
“We, the management of the house,” Shvonder spoke with hatred, “came to you after general meeting residents of our building, where the issue of densifying the apartments of the house was raised...
- Who stood on whom? - Philip Philipovich shouted, - take the trouble to express your thoughts more clearly.
It is very possible that Isadora Duncan does just that. Maybe she's having lunch in her office and cutting up rabbits in the bathroom. May be. But I'm not Isadora Duncan!..
No, I won’t take it,” Philip Philipovich answered briefly, glancing sideways at the magazines.
Complete amazement was expressed on their faces, and the woman became covered with a cranberry coating.
- Why do you refuse?
- Don't want.
-You don’t sympathize with the children of Germany?
- Sorry.
- Do you regret fifty dollars?
- No.
- So why?
- Don't want.
How old are you, madam?
Please note, Ivan Arnoldovich, only landowners who were undercut by the Bolsheviks eat cold appetizers and soup. A more or less self-respecting person handles hot snacks.
Vodka should be forty degrees.
Dr. Bormenthal, I beg you, instantly this little thing, and if you say that it is... I am your blood enemy for life.
If you care about your digestion, my good advice is not to talk about Bolshevism and
medicine. And - God save you - don’t read Soviet newspapers before lunch.
- Hm... But there are no others.
- Don’t read any of them.
Well, now it’s all gone, Kalabukhov’s house is gone. I'll have to leave, but I wonder where. Everything will be like clockwork. First, there will be singing every evening, then the pipes in the toilets will freeze, then the steam heating boiler will burst, and so on.
Why was the carpet removed? main staircase? Does Karl Marx prohibit carpets on stairs? Does Karl Marx say somewhere that the 2nd entrance of the Kalabukhov house on Prechistenek should be boarded up and walked around through the back yard? Why can’t the proletarian leave his galoshes downstairs, but dirty the marble?
“But, Philip Philipovich, he doesn’t even have galoshes,” the man who had been bitten stuttered.
- Nothing like that! - Philip Philipovich answered in a thunderous voice and poured a glass of wine. - Hm... I don’t like liqueurs after dinner: they are heavy and have a bad effect on the liver... Nothing of the sort! He now has galoshes and these galoshes are mine! These are exactly the same galoshes that disappeared in the spring of 1917.
What is this devastation of yours? Old woman with a stick? The witch who broke all the windows and put out all the lamps? Yes, it doesn’t exist at all. What do you mean by this word? - Philip Philipovich furiously asked the unfortunate cardboard duck hanging upside down next to the sideboard, and he himself answered for her. - This is this: if I, instead of operating every evening, start singing in chorus in my apartment, I will be in ruins. If, entering the restroom, I start, excuse the expression, urinating past the toilet and Zina and Daria Petrovna do the same, devastation will begin in the restroom. Consequently, the devastation is not in the closets, but in the heads. This means that when these baritones shout “beat the destruction!” - I’m laughing. (Philip Philipovich’s face distorted so that the one who was bitten opened his mouth). I swear to you, I find it funny! This means that each of them must hit themselves in the back of the head! And so, when he hatches all sorts of hallucinations from himself and starts cleaning the barns - his direct business - the devastation will disappear by itself. You cannot serve two gods! It is impossible to sweep the tram tracks and arrange the fate of some Spanish ragamuffins at the same time! No one can do this, doctor, and even more so - people who, in general, are 200 years behind the Europeans in development, are still not quite confident in buttoning their own pants!
Those who are not in a hurry succeed everywhere
Science does not yet know how to turn animals into people. So I tried, but it was unsuccessful, as you can see. I talked and began to return to a primitive state. Atavism.
