Batum (Russian: Батум) is a play in four acts by the Soviet writer Mikhail Bulgakov, who began writing the play in 1936 and completed it on July 24, 1939. The play, about the strikes organized by Stalin in Batumi in 1901 and 1902, was banned by the dictator in 1939. The text was published in its original form in 1977 by Ardis Publishing in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the Soviet Union, the play was printed in the Moscow literary journal Sovremennaja dramaturgija in 1988. In 1991, Sergei Kurginyan brought Batum to the stage of the Moscow Art Theatre.
