The Master and Margarita: Devilish satire
Olga Voronina, scholar of Russian literature and religion, and Julie Curtis, Bulgakov biographer and professor, discuss The Master and Margarita. They explore the novel’s satire of Soviet life, secretive writing and censorship, the supernatural disruption of atheism, the interwoven Jerusalem narrative, cultural influence from hippie fandom to rock music, and the novel’s contested spiritual themes.
