Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891-1940) is one of the most significant Russian writers of the 1920th century. He happened to experience both success and disgrace, his words “manuscripts do not burn” accurately convey the tragedy of a whole period in the history of Russian literature, they have become a metaphor for genuine creativity. Today, when Bulgakov's works are included in the golden fund of Russian classics, it is even difficult to imagine how long they went to readers, what cruel persecution the writer was subjected to by official criticism. Since the end of the XNUMXs, it has practically ceased to be printed, the publication of “Notes on Cuffs”, the reprint of the collection of satirical stories “Diaboliad”, the manuscript of the story “Heart of a Dog” was confiscated, the publication of the novel “The White Guard” was interrupted, and his plays were removed from the repertoire - and "Days of the Turbins", and "Running", and "Zoyka's apartment" ... Almost a century later, all these works are always a success with readers, interest in Bulgakov's work does not weaken. Fascinating plots (“fantasy, rooted in everyday life”), vivid images, moral problems raised to a universal scale - all this makes you return to what you read again and again.
