Adam and Eve (Russian: Адам и Ева) is a four-act play by Mikhail Bulgakov.
Written in 1931, the play is set in future Leningrad, where chemical warfare is the main weapon of mass destruction, and has destroyed most of the world.
[1] Eva Voikevich and Adam Krasovsky, a newlywed couple, meet Alexander Efrosimov, a scientist, who has invented a machine to protect the human body from toxic elements.
They form a group with three other survivors ─ ace pilot Andrey Daragan, writer Donut-Nepobeda, and Zakhar Marquizov, an expelled trade union member, and retreat to live into the wilderness.
Such an absence of financial pressure is possibly why the play is absent of self-censorship and more abundant in open critiques of the Soviet government.
