Tatiana Zelenchenkoillustrators.ruIllustrations for The Master and Margarita were created by the graphic artist Tatyana Zelenchenko from 1973 to 1989. Tatyana visited the places described in the novel—Patriarch’s Ponds, the house on Sadovaya, the “bad apartment” in it (in those years there was not the slightest trace of a Bulgakov museum there)—and she spoke with the Bulgakov scholar Lydia Yanovskaya.
In her work Tatyana used various techniques: the wanderings of Woland’s gang in Moscow were rendered in pen and ink, while the love story of the Master and Margarita was drawn in pencil.
