  + stars: | 2024-03-13 | by ( Joy Neumeyer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Today, Bulgakov’s formula is being put to the test once again in Russia, where a new film adaptation of the book has caused a scandal. “The Master and Margarita” captured the surreal atmosphere of dark forces and mysterious disappearances in the 1930s Soviet Union. In the invasion’s wake, President Vladimir Putin has made sweeping attempts to restrict creative expression.

The Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan and Russia's current war in Ukraine have obvious similarities in their disastrous planning and execution. In the 1990s, Afghanistan veterans' sense of aggrievement fused with that of veterans returning from Boris Yeltsin's war in Chechnya. Putin's war, Russia's futurePutin meets soldiers at a military training center outside the town of Ryazan in October. While glasnost-era revelations about the Soviet war shocked the country into supporting withdrawal, these days there is little left to expose.
