The Master and Margarita Project

Photographer Elena Martynyuk has made an impressive series of photographs about The Master and Margarita in collaboration with the Bulgakov House in Moscow.

The project, which started in 2010, was very ambitious: 70 shoots have been organized and more than 1,000 photos have been made.

The photos have been made at the locations described in the novel, like the roof of the Pashkov House and, of course, at the Bulgakov House on Sadovaya 302-bis. The scenes of the Variety Theatre were photographed at the Moscow Art Theatre MKhAT, where Bulgakov's pieces were performed and where he also worked himself. In 2013, the Russian publishing house Radunitsa presented a deluxe edition of The Master and Margarita with the photos of Elena Martynyuk.
