Mikhail Bulgakov's perspectives and devils as an attempt to define the future of Russia

Author(s): Tatiana Stepnowska
Subject(s): Political history, Social history, Russian Literature
Published by: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study in the work is a comparative analysis of the Future Prospects and the Diabolism in terms of shaping Bulgakov's views on societal political changes in Russia after the 1917 revolution. Unlike the Crimson Island, in the Diabolia, Bulgakov negatively views the new government. Therefore, this work can be regarded as an artistic illustration of the position of the writer, presented in the Future Prospects. The devil is foretelling a number of themes and motives for the mature Bulgakov creativity (the motif of loneliness and alienation, running, death as a way of saving one's own dignity), being a kind of first version of the problems that have received wide philosophical coverage in the Master and Margarita.
