The novel "The Return of the Master and Margarita" belongs to the sequel genre - a continuation of a favorite story. Contact with classical material predetermined the author's extremely delicate and respectful attitude towards the original source, the desire, if possible, to maintain ideological and stylistic fidelity to it, and all efforts boiled down to an attempt to instill “genetic code” of M.

For a wide readership.< /p>
