| biography:
| Writer, born in Kiev, Ukraine. He studied medicine, but in 1920 worked as a journalist in Moscow, where he wrote several plays, novels, and short stories. His major novels include Belaya gvardiya (1925, The White Guard, rewritten as a play, 1926) and the deeply satirical Master i Margerita (1938, The Master and Margarita). Several of his works were considered too outspoken, were withdrawn, and re-emerged only in the 1960s. |
