The themes and characters in Mikhail Bulgakov’s works are closely connected with life in the 1920s. The author sensitively caught the collective unconscious of society and expressed it through his works, in which he revealed the unsettling results of the social experiment carried out by the Bolsheviks. As a feuilletonist, Bulgakov used his experience in journalistic work to get to the heart of the changes taking place and to convey them to readers.
