Please join us for a lunchtime conversation with The Master and Margarita Director Michael Lockshin. The Master and Margarita is an adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s classic satire of Stalinist-era Soviet dictatorship. Released in Russia in January 2024, the film has drawn large audiences and been attacked by pro-Putin Russian nationalist propagandists, who declared the film anti-regime and called for a criminal investigation into Lockshin.

Co-sponsored by the Elson Family Arts Initiative, Slavic Department GSAS Workshop, and the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies.
