Even more remarkable is the fact that The Master and Margarita has become the most talked about work in Russia today. It was published in two installments in the liberal monthly Moskva, of which Soviet readers have already bought 150,000 copies (the novel has yet to appear in book form). Soviet critics, many of whom have declared it a masterpiece, discuss it endlessly.

For home celebrators, 8,000 tons of fresh fruit and 1,000,000 bottles of Crimean champagne and wine have been shipped to the capital's markets, and a new state catering service called "Spring" advertised in Vechernaya Moskva...
...sunset, Khrushchev and Ustinov landed at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport, where a ZIL limousine waited. The long black car whipped across the Lenin Hills, along Kremlevskaya Quai, where lights glittered on the Moskva River...
