The St. Petersburg artist Elena Kunina (who, incidentally, was born and raised on Patriarch’s Ponds) has been working with polymer clays for a quarter of a century. I am smitten with her creations: each doll exudes a vivid personality, and the craftsmanship—especially the minute detailing—is stunning. I am delighted that among her many works there is room for several Bulgakov characters.

  • Ivanushka Bezdomny
