| Sumario: | The home, signifying a person's private space and the symbol of their privacy, has a meaning described as a sacred space, a reflection of the national mentality, and small modeling of the world in classical Russian literature. Until the October Revolution in 1917, the traditional house, which had been perceived as a unifying value for the national culture by giving integrity to life, was destroyed with the introduction of communal apartments called kommunalka as a sanction of Soviet ideology, and it is considered as a symbol reflecting the communist order in the works written after this period. In this context, the image of the house in classical Russian literature, undergoing a change in the first quarter of the 20th century, reaches a form describing communal apartments in works produced after the 1920s. With the demolition of traditional houses in the 20th century, many people living in communal apartments experience internal conflicts by not being able to keep up with this new order due to their past habits. In the 1920s, the conflicts created by this new order on the individual were reflected in the literary works within the framework of the notions of home and homelessness. The notions of home and homelessness, which was approached by many authors such as A.P. Platonov, B.L. Pasternak, L.M. Leonov, A.G. Bitov, and V.S. Makanin, are also reflected in Bulgakov's works, dealing with the transition process of the Russian society in the 20th century. In this context, Bulgakov's works titled <em>The White Guard (?�?�?�?�я ?�?�?�р?�?�я, 1925) </em>and <em>The Master and Margarita</em> <em>(?�?�ст?�р ?� ?�?�р?�?�р?�т?�, 1966/67)</em> are the main subjects of our study. The main factor that necessitates this limitation is the suitability of these two works based on the contrasts in treating the notion of home. |
