Outstanding surgeon Professor Preobrazhensky decided to do a risky experiment to transplant the human pituitary gland to a dog. The plan works: the organ takes root, the dog takes on a human appearance and acquires the ability to speak and make decisions. The medical revolution committed by Professor Preobrazhensky, as well as the October revolution, which occurred shortly before the events described in Bulgakov’s novel, gave birth to a completely new type of person.

​

Today, 100 years after the Great October Revolution, we can analyze and make it clear where these new people born of revolutionary storms led us and most importantly is there anything common between them and us. Who are we? Are we just those new people created by Perestroyka? Or maybe we are the direct descendants and worthy heirs of the Sharikov and Shvonder dynasties.
