In a letter to a friend in 1937, Bulgakov wrote “Some well-wishers have chosen a rather odd manner of consoling me. I have heard again and again suspiciously unctuous voices assuring me, ‘No matter, after your death everything will be published.’
— from Mirra Ginsburg’s “Translator’s Introduction” to The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
