Reading The Master and Margarita for this reading vlog was so wild. This one is a classic novel full of fantasy and nonsense and it was very entertaining! There are themes of cowardice, good and evil, Soviet society and the authenticy of art. Symbols and themes all over this reading vlog, but it was helped along by annotating this classic book.

Reading Russian literature can be a challenge with the naming conventions and all the hidden meanings. In Soviet Russia they could not be as blunt for fear of consequences, so everything is more subtle. I needed help reading this Russian classic, which I linked below.
