Curtis’s reader’s companion to the novel: She was a human woman, and she was given very human, cautionary advice by Bulgakov’s close friend Pavel Popov, as recorded in J. But unfortunately, unlike the fictitious Margarita, Elena didn’t have access to a sympathetic circle of demons who could offer her the power to reawaken her lover’s lost dream. Bulgakov’s third wife, Elena, who was his inspiration for the avenging character of Margarita, swore at the suffering Bulgakov’s bedside-he passed away on March 10, 1940, at the age of 48-that she would make his magnum opus her life’s mission she would prevail against suppression. Following a morbid and natural cycle of life, its birth began on a deathbed. The initial journey of The Master and Margarita to publication is somewhat cryptic. “The less people know about the novel the better,” wrote Popov to Elena.
