...written: "What remains clear is the incompatibility of a personal and authoritarian government within the structures of the industrial society and with the democratic mentality of our epoch." Even though Serer had referred to another man in another country, Franco's censors felt that the cap might fit all too well, and suspended Madrid for two months...
...characters or the action of the rest of the play. This is not a fault--it is just another style of writing plays, one that is circuitous and whimsical, full of zany cynical asides for their own sake.

Bulgakov's complex and comical allegory, The Master and Margarita, was judged fit to be published in his homeland, after some ideological laundering. That was followed by Black Snow, a cudgeling of Stanislavsky. But these satires of Soviet life were devious enough so that the literary bureaucracy could pretend that they were not satire...
