Bulgakov does not simply have an obsession with the stars; he believes the stars are the ultimate measure of truth, and they outweigh the thought of individual existence (Edwards 180).
Bulgakov was often accused of writing novels with political intent, but most of the time, he was successfully able to mask his satire with profound language, allusions, and references (Edwards 145).

 Mikhail Bulgakov. The Master and Margarita (1997)
Bulgakov's gentle irony is a warning against the mistake, more common in our time than we might think, of equating artistic mastery with a sort of saintliness, or, in Kierkegaard's terms, of confusing the aesthetic with the ethical.
Bulgakov always loved clowning and agreed with E. Hoffmann that irony and buffoonery are expressions of 'the deepest contemplation of life in all its conditionality'.
Bulgakov's portrayal of Moscow under Stalin's terror is remarkable precisely for its weightless, circus-like theatricality and lack of pathos.

 Music under Soviet rule: Shostakovich and Bulgakov
Bulgakov's first fall had occurred at the onset of the Cultural Revolution in 1929 when, at the insistence of the extreme Leftists of the Proletkult, his work had been banned outright for several years.
Bulgakov's 'Aesopian' manner of ironic obliqueness was probably as influential on Shostakovich's own double-edged style as the nod-and-wink mock-innocence of his friend Zoshchenko.
(Bulgakov was also obsessed by the Faustian hubris of Bolshevism, a motif hinted at by Shostakovich in his Twelfth Symphony.) Similarly charismatic, both men displayed a gift for poker-faced mimicry and a chameleon ability to modify their character at will.

Bulgakov skewers every Moscow bureaucrat and literary hack (unfortunately in the Stalinist era most of those who maintained positions of authority in literary circles were obsequious no-talents who mouthed party-line propaganda) that ever did him harm (and these were legion).
Bulgakov was one of the first generation of Soviet writers who flourished in the 20s, during the short lived Soviet Experimental movement, and then suffered horribly after the stregnthening of Stalin's regime.
Bulgakov uses many of the same stylistic (poetic) devices as well as fantastic elements, but where Gogol wrote humorous, frightening magical fantasy Bulgakov wrote fantastical satire and that is his novel's biggest handicap.

 Mikhail Bulgakov, THE MASTER AND MARGARITA
In his lifetime Bulgakov was best known as a playwright, but since his death (in his own bed!) his reputation as an author of fiction, science fiction ("Heart of a Dog" and "The Fatal Eggs") and a literary biographer (The Life of Monsieur de Molière) has only grown.
Bulgakov was the first of seven children of Afanasii Mikhailovich Bulgakov and Varvara Mikhailovna Pokrovskaia.
Bulgakov began writing Master and Margarita in 1928, and the novel still shows some traces of its earliest drafts (for example, Pilate's dog Banga bears the nickname of Bulgakov's second wife, Liubov' or Liubanga).

 Mikhail Bulgakov -- Heart of a Dog
In his short life during the Stalinist regime, Bulgakov was highly censored and yet revered among the Russian people.
Satirizing Soviet Realism, Bulgakov, an actor and writer at the Moscow Art Theatre, wrote this theatrical novella in a style later named by another great Stanislavsky Student—Vselvod Meyerhold—to be "Grotesque." A style where truthfulness remained important, but realism was abandoned and more imaginative stylized ensemble acting was the primary goal.
Due to the nature of funding in the Russian system, this "grotesque" style was not allowed government funding and so the artists found themselves using minimal yet effective technical theatricals, and concentrated on creating the grotesque through acting and directing and cunning minimalist design elements.

 sbulgakov: There is Freedom. Barth-Bulgakov. Paper of Brandon Gallaher. Part I
For Bulgakov God is the Absolute, and by God he follows with the Fathers, and speaks of God proper as the Father, but this Absolute is never purely in and of itself but is always turned towards the other and this other ultimately is the world.
Indeed, Bulgakov goes as far as to refer to God as the “Absolute-Relative.” However, the Absolute Spirit encounters no limitations (in the finite sense of a stubborn giveness that is external and necessitous to His being) since that with which it is in relation is fully contained within itself in Schelling’s identity in unity.
Bulgakov claims that his panentheism was a ‘pious pantheism’ but not pantheism understood as “an impious deification of the world” or “cosmotheism.” Yet it is hard to see how his pious pantheism does not have the same end result of impious cosmotheism, which is a divine monism.
