Something wrong?He wrote a novel so combustible the Soviet state buried it for decades after his death - then it surfaced in 1966 and rewrote the canon. The Master and Margarita made Bulgakov one of the great Russian voices of the 20th century, even though Stalin personally banned half his work and he died obscure.

Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov was born 15 May 1891 and wrote novels and plays that put him on a collision course with Soviet power. The White Guard, the plays Ivan Vasilievich, Flight, and The Days of the Turbins - the state banned much of it between 1922 and 1926, deciding it "glorified emigration and White generals". Stalin himself ordered the suppression. Strange exception: Stalin loved The Days of the Turbins, attended it at least 15 times, once called a theater personally to demand its production after Bulgakov had fallen from favor. The contradictions never resolved into sustained success. Bulgakov died 10 March 1940, briefly celebrated, mostly sidelined. Then in 1966-67 The Master and Margarita appeared posthumously and the ground shifted - now called one of the masterpieces of the century, the book that made his reputation permanent.
