a) One hot spring evening, just as the sun was going down, two men appeared at
Patriarchs Ponds. (1)
Comm.: Patriarchs Ponds a real location in the heart of old Moscow. While this was a place where Bulgakov spent a lot of time when he first came to Moscow, the location has double significance for the novel it is named in honor of the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. Most of the places Bulgakov describes in this novel can still be found in todays Moscow (although many street names have changed), which has led to an entire Bulgakov tour industry. However, sometimes the author moves streets when it suits him, and relocates buildings, thus befuddling many critics who want the topography to be entirely accurate. Bulgakov consciously mixes realia of Moscow life typical of both the 1920s and 1930s. (1) b) At the hour of the hot spring sunset two citizens appeared at the Patriarchs

a) The first man was none other than Mikhail Alexandrovich Berlioz, editor of a
literary magazine and chairman of the board of one of Moscows largest
literary associations, known by its acronym, MASSOLIT, and his young
companion was the poet Ivan Nikolayevich Ponyryov, who wrote under the
pen name Bezdomny. (1)
Comm.: Mikhail Alexandrovich Russian names are formally given as first, patronymic, and last. When respect is being accorded, the full first name and patronymic are used. Berliozs initials match Bulgakovs own. MASSOLIT a very funny acronym in Russian, which might be best conveyed in English as LOTSALIT. Bulgakov found the Soviet passion for acronyms very funny, and made up various absurd ones throughout his career, although the real ones were bizarre enough. Bezdomny this name literally means Homeless, and brings to mind an entire series of famous pseudonyms, starting with Maksim Gorky (the Bitter) and ending with Demyan Bedny (the Poor). Bedny is apposite in that he was known for especially egregious antireligious works, such as the 1925 The New Testament without Defects of the Evangelist Demyan. Although some have sought historical prototypes for every character in the novel, few of those suggested for the main characters are convincing. Bulgakovs main characters tend to be a blend of many sources, and sometimes are deliberate abstractions (the Master himself is a good example of this). Minor characters, however, do tend to have recognizable sources in a single figure. (1) b) The first was none other than Mikhail Alexandrovich Berlioz, editor of a fat
literary journal and chairman of the board of one of the major Moscow
literary associations, called Massolit for short, and his young companion was
the poet Ivan Nikolayevich Ponyrev, who wrote under the pseudonym of
Homeless. (2)
