Mikhail Bulgakov's novel "The Master and Margarita" is one of the greatest works of Russian literature of the 20th century. It is very multifaceted, it can be repeatedly re-read, each time finding a new meaning. This is a mystery novel, a revelation novel that will be remembered for a lifetime.

The events take place in the 30-40s of the 20th century. The devil arrives in Moscow with his retinue, he appears to be a foreigner in front of people. Woland starts talking about religion, the existence of God, mysteriously interfering in the fate of people. At the Variety Theater, he holds a performance where he shows absolutely incredible tricks. It gives women the opportunity to choose any outfits for themselves absolutely free of charge. But when they leave the theater, they remain completely naked, their clothes disappear. Woland's personality is mysterious, no one really knows anything about him. And he administers justice, punishing people for greed, cowardice, deceit, betrayal.

The second line in the plot is a love one. Margarita, the wife of an important official, meets a Master – an unknown writer. They are united by a forbidden, fatal love, at the same time it is deep, calm. The master is writing a book about the ancient city of Ershalayim, in which Pontius Pilate judges Jesus Christ. Critics ridicule religious themes. The reading of religious literature and the Gospel was banned in the country.

The novel touches on the theme of the existence of God, faith, justice. Woland and his retinue expose many human vices, punishing the guilty. The love of the Master and Margarita, sincere and devoted, is able to go through the most difficult trials.

Despite the fact that the novel describes the 30-40s of the 20th century, the issues raised in it are relevant to this day. With regret, it can be noted that even after many years, people still strive for power, are ready to go over their heads for a career and money, lie and betray.
