Russia and Ukraine Fight Over Bulgakov
A poll of Russians named the author of The Master and Margarita Russia's second-greatest writer ever (after Pushkin). But he was born in Kiev, which is now, of course, the capital of independent Ukraine. Gogol, who wrote in Russian about his Ukrainian background, has become a similar battleground.
