Monsters of Russian Literature

[Viktoria Driagina]

Was Bulgakov's work mentioned? All kinds of creatures
from "Мастер и Маргарита", esp. at the ball (Великий бал у сатаны). But
also Bulgakov's novel Роковые яйца in which Persikov created the
monstrous creatures using his "red ray" -  not a very subtle reference
to Lenin and the bolsheviks.



And to add to John Schillinger's list:  Змей Горыныч will be the one
most Russians will name from the top of their heads, I think. 

And also Бармалей from Chukovsky.
