Shifting Accommodation is a short humorous story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theatrical personage Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891 - 1940). From the Diary of an ingenious comrade Polosukhin: November 21. Well, Moscow… What a city… Oh, I will tell you now. There are no available apartments here. Absolutely no vacant flats! I even had to send a telegram to my wife and tell her to stay home and wait for a while. I slept three nights in the bathtub at Karabuev's apartment. Well, what can I say, not that bad as it may seem, pretty comfortable, I would say, just water dripping from time to time. Then I slept two nights on a gas stove at Shchuevsky's apartment. In Yelabuga, my hometown, people say that this stove is a very convenient thing. Hell no, I say! Some screws are sticking in here and there, and the cookmaid is grumbling, obviously not happy about my sleeping there... December 23. I'm done, I'm going back to Yelabuga…
