The film adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's iconic book The Master and Margarita is a huge box office success in Russia. But this time, this success on the big screen is the victim of a controversy created and maintained by figures close to power.
Released 10 days ago, it had more than 400,000 admissions this weekend. The film is described as “ Satanist ”, “ anti-Soviet ” and “anti-Russian ” Some even go so far as to argue that we should return to good old prior censorship.
