Early days of soviet russa. Quite hard times described with a hint of humor but it still left me with goosebumps after. I’m a big fan of well written and witty satire - not the vulgar one - and this is absolutely one of these. I’m definitely going to read another Bulgakov soon altough I still find it hard to read about such events. And the scariest thing of it all is that it is human stupidity which persists through all those times and some of these works could’ve been written these days even in “non-comunists” countries. Whoever enjoy political satire will definitely like this book.
