The Journey to Bugulma is a play written by Jáchym Topol in 2004/2005 during his stay as writer-in-residence at NIAS in Wassenaar, The Netherlands. The play has been performed in Germany and the Czech Republic. In 2007, the audiobook was published and included in the anthology The Supermarket of Soviet Heroes.
Three hangmen on the road, three women in the morgue. Their stories, memories of a shocking past, glimpses of an apocalyptic future. A unique way of coping with the legacy of socialism.
