Black magic may be at work in central Moscow, locals report, after the Bulgakov House’s resident kitty, Begemot, was reportedly abducted from the museum on Wednesday.
The Bulgakov House said on their Facebook page that a woman had grabbed Begemot from his residence (местожительство, резиденция) before running off with him in the direction (в направлении) of the metro.
Begemot is named after (назван в честь) the wily (хитрый) talking cat from Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita.” He is known as a prankster that works for the devil and carries a pistol.
The abductor’s (похитителя) identity remains unknown, though speculation is rife that it may be a vengeful (мстительный) Margarita, the Devil Woland trying to get his entourage back together or simply a die-hard (убежденный) Mikhail Bulgakov fan.
