* According to Bulgakov, the novel about Professor Preobrazhensky's amazing experiment is set in Moscow, but in the film adaptation the role of the capital's streets was played by St. Petersburg alleys, squares and houses. We are going for a walk through the cinematic places where the fates of the heroes of the "Dog's Heart" were decided. 1. Dyagterny lane The film begins with a demonstration of newsreel footage, in which viewers see streets covered with snow, with trams passing through them; gloomy figures of people hurrying about their business. And in one of the doorways lies the dog Sharik, in whose head thoughts of his difficult fate flash by: "Oh, look at me, I'm dying. The blizzard in the doorway roars my departure, and I howl with it. I'm gone, I'm gone." Today, Petersburgers are unlikely to recognize these regions. At least because there is no functioning tram depot here, and trams themselves have not been running along Degtyarnoye for a long time. 2. Borovaya street, 3 It is at this place that Professor Preobrazhensky finds a stray Ball. 3. Mokhovaya Street, 27/29 The professor takes poor Sharik to his house. In the novel, Preobrazhensky lives in Moscow on Obukhovsky Lane, and in the film adaptation, the lane was successfully replaced by Mokhovaya Street in St. Petersburg. Today, the house 27/29 Mokhovaya disappeared behind the woods. It has been undergoing restoration for several years. 4. Preobrazhenskaya Square Sharik is taken for a walk very close by: on Preobrazhenskaya Square, near the Preobrazhensky Cathedral.
