In despair that his works could not be published and his plays not performed in theaters, Bulgakov wrote a letter to Stalin requesting that he be allowed to go abroad.
His request was in vain; he did not receive permission.
Bulgakov's personal life was not a fortunate one, yet during his student years he fell in love and married Tat'iana Lappa.
Together they experienced the Civil War, enthusiasm and disappointment, joy and sorrow, happiness, and bitterness at the time of parting when they were divorced.
Bulgakov married a second and a third time.
Bulgakov envisioned and began his beloved novel The Master and Margarita in 1928, and did the last editing two weeks before his death.
The refusal of the authorities to let him work in the theater and the provocations of the critics seemed to damage his health.
