Продолжение статьи: После смерти Гоголя, на его могиле был установлен черный мраморный крест и огромный темный ноздреватый камень. Гранитный монолит нашел в Крыму один из братьев Аксаковых, с которыми Гоголь был дружен. Несколько месяцев камень на лошадях везли в Москву. Своими очертаниями он напоминал Голгофу - место казни Иисуса Христа. Так этот камень и стали называть... В мае 1931 года большевики уничтожили некрополь Данилова монастыря, где был захоронен Николай Васильевич Гоголь. Прах Писателя перезахоронили на Новодевичьем кладбище. К очередному юбилею Великого Писателя был изготовлен мраморный бюст. От старого памятника сохранилась только надгробная плита. Куда подевалась стопудовая Голгофа, никто не знал. Да никто, толком, и не интересовался... 10 марта 1940 года, не дожив и до пятидесяти, умирает Михаил Афанасьевич Булгаков. На могиле писателя долгое время не было надгробия. Его вдова Елена Сергеевна годами, по всем гранильным мастерским, искала такой камень, чтобы памятник соответствовал масштабу личности ее мужа. Ничего подходящего не попадалось. Но однажды в яме, куда мастера сбрасывали отходы производства, среди обломков мрамора и гранита вдова увидела огромный черный камень. Спросив про него, она услышала, что это - Голгофа с могилы Гоголя. ВДОВА ПИСАТЕЛЯ РЕШИЛА, ЧТО САМО ПРОВИДЕНИЕ ПРИВЕЛО ЕЁ К ГОГОЛЕВСКОЙ ГОЛГОФЕ! МНОГОТОННЫЙ КАМЕНЬ ИЗВЛЕКЛИ ИЗ ЯМЫ И ОН ЛЁГ В ИЗГОЛОВЬЕ МОГИЛЫ БУЛГАКОВА. УЧЕНИК И УЧИТЕЛЬ ОБРЕЛИ ОДНО НАДГРОБИЕ НА ДВОИХ! В БИОГРАФИИ М.А. БУЛГАКОВА И Н.В. ГОГОЛЯ ЕСТЬ МНОГО ПАРАЛЛЕЛЕЙ И ПЕРЕПЛЕТЕНИЙ! Булгаков по истине считал себя учеником Гоголя и так же, как Николай Васильевич сжёг свой второй том «Мёртвых душ», Михаил Афанасьевич сжёг черновик будущего романа «Мастер и Маргарита» и заставил потом своего Мастера, сознательно наделённого многими гоголевскими чертами, сжечь роман о Понтии Пилате. Когда Булгаков жил в Нащокинском переулке, то не раз приходил к памятнику Гоголю, который стоял в то время в начале Пречистенского (ныне Гоголевского) бульвара. 3 марта 1927 года около памятника Гоголю состоялся митинг революционных писателей. Обсуждался вопрос: нужен ли Гоголь советским людям, или пора его выбросить на свалку истории? При этом присутствовал Булгаков. Он побледнел и сжал кулаки: «Их накажут. Нет, не Бог. Их накажет Сатана. Да, явится в Москву и накажет». Возможно, именно так родился замысел романа «Мастер и Маргарита». Как свидетельствовал П.С. Попов, в последние недели своей жизни Булгаков, «уже лишённый зрения, бесстрашно просил ему читать о последних жутких днях и часах Гоголя». Работа над «Мёртвыми душами», а затем над киносценариями той же поэмы и «Ревизора», заставила Булгакова на несколько лет погрузиться в Гоголевский Мир. Это погружение сильнейшим образом отразилось на его собственных произведениях. Таким образом, ДВЕ РАЗНЫЕ СУДЬБЫ ДВА РАЗНЫХ ЧЕЛОВЕКА ВСЮ ЖИЗНЬ БЫЛИ СВЯЗАНЫ НЕВИДИМОЙ МИСТИЧЕСКОЙ ПРОЧНОЙ НИТЬЮ! Может быть, именно благодаря Гоголю, Мир и познакомился с Михаилом Булгаковым и его Величайшими Произведениями. Сегодня «Мастер и Маргарита», «Собачье сердце», «Записки покойника» и другие произведения являются Классикой Русской Литературы и по праву стали любимейшими у многих читателей, на которых они производили и продолжают производить неизгладимое впечатление! СЕГОДНЯ, В ДЕНЬ ПАМЯТИ М.А. БУЛГАКОВА, В 20.00 И В 21.00 МЫ БУДЕМ ВСПОМИНАТЬ ДВА ВЕЛИЧАЙШИХ ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЯ ВЕЛИКОГО ПИСАТЕЛЯ - «СОБАЧЬЕ СЕРДЦЕ» И «МАСТЕР И МАРГАРИТА»!

English version: 🕊Dear Friends!🕊 Today in the RUBRIC “CREATIVITY” with great Pleasure we Remember the Great Writer - MIKHAIL BULGAKOV, IN HIS BIRTHDAY, MAY 15. Bulgakov's world Attracts and Fascinates with the Depth of Thought, Brilliantly Given Word, and of course, with MAGIC! Bulgakov is often called a MYSTIC, and he really is a LITERARY MYSTIC! All his Works are more or less connected with the Mysterious Forces of the World! But few people know that the writer's meetings with the Other World took place not only in the pages of his Works, but also in the real life. Also, as it happened with Gogol, the Creativity had opened the Door into a World of Supernatural for Bulgakov! And in this Supernatural Space, where there are no Laws of Space and Time, it helped even to Meet these Two Legendary Literary Mystics, despite the fact, that Gogol by that time already was not alive! The first time Gogol appeared to Bulgakov in a dream in 1918, when Mikhail Afanasievich had problems with drug dependence on morphine, which he received while working as a doctor. Saving the child he was infected and after a series of procedures in order to stop the infection , he received a severe allergic reaction.. in general, it came to morphine and dependence on it. Bulgakov ceased to be himself, he was loosing himself and his life and after Gogol came to him, Bulgakov was able to overcome the dependence and return back to Life. This incredible event Mikhail Afanasievich described later in his own diary. He told that one day a short man with a sharp and long nose came to him, looked at him angrily and shook his finger. In the morning Bulgakov hardly remembered the event of the previous night and could not understand whether it was all in reality or in delirious from the terrible pain. But it was after that mystical night that the writer got rid of drug addiction forever. Bulgakov talked himself about the fact that Gogol had saved his life! A second meeting of Bulgakov and Gogol happened in 1927. Walking along the streets of Moscow, Bulgakov accidentally met a man who looked at him intently and nodded in the direction of a beautiful house. In this stranger Bulgakov recognized... Gogol, but only a few seconds later, when he was already out of the sight. Mikhail Bulgakov for a long time failed to solve the mystery of this meeting. One evening, seeing off for the first time his future wife Elena, Bulgakov was stunned to learn that she lives in that same house to which Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol had pointed out to him. It turned out, long before meeting with Elena, Gogol had predicted Bulgakov’s meeting with his Muse and the most beloved woman. It was she who saved Bulgakov's Most Mystical novel - the Master and Margarita, and it was she who performed the "will" of Gogol's third "visit" to Bulgakov, putting a marble stone on Mikhail Afanasievich's grave, which had previously stood on Nikolai Vasilyevich's grave. During Gogol's third "visit" to Bulgakov in a dream, they were hotly arguing about something , after this Bulgakov said the phrase "Cover me with your cast-iron overcoat!". Bulgakov remembered this phrase and wrote it down in his Diary, and only 12 years later, after Bulgakov's death, Elena had guessed this Message! This Story itself is absolutely Mystical ! And it could be called "One Golgotha for two!» Here's how it happened... After Gogol's death, a black marble cross and a huge dark stone were placed on his grave. Granite monolith found in the Crimea, by one of the brothers Aksakov, with whom Gogol was friends. For the few months the stone was transported on horses to Moscow. Its shape resembled Golgotha - the place of execution of Jesus Christ. So this stone began to be called Golgotha ... In may 1931, the Bolsheviks destroyed the necropolis of the Danilov monastery, where Nikolai Gogol was buried. The writer's ashes were reburied at Novodevichy cemetery. A marble bust was made for the next anniversary of the Great Writer. Only the tombstone remained of the old monument. No one knew where Golgotha had gone. No one was really interested... On March 10, 1940,Mikhail Bulgakov who did not live to fifty, had died. On the grave of the writer for a long time there was no tombstone. His widow Elena Sergeevna for years were looking on all granite workshops for such stone that could corresponded to the scale of the personality of her husband. Nothing suitable came across. But once in the pit, where the masters dumped waste products, among the fragments of marble and granite, the widow saw a huge black stone. When she asked about it, she heard that it was Golgotha from Gogol's grave. The writer's widow decided that Providence itself led her to Gogol's Golgotha . A multi-ton stone was removed from the pit, and it was laid down at the head of Bulgakov's grave. The Teacher and the Student had received one grave stone for two! The biography of M.Bulgakov and N.Gogol has many Parallels and interlacing. Bulgakov truly considered himself a student of Gogol and just as Nikolai Vasilyevich burned his second volume of "Dead souls", Mikhail Afanasievich burned a draft version of the future novel "the Master and Margarita" and then forced his Master, consciously endowed with many Gogol’s features, to burn the novel about Pontius Pilate. When Bulgakov lived in Naschokinsky street, he often came to the monument to Gogol, which stood at that time at the beginning of Prechistensky (now Gogol) Boulevard. On March 3, 1927 near the monument to Gogol was a meeting of revolutionary writers. The question was discussed: do the Soviet people need Gogol, or is it time to throw him into the dustbin of history? Bulgakov was present there. He turned pale and clenched his fists. "They will be punished. No, not by the God. Satan will punish them. Yes, he will come to Moscow and punish them!." Perhaps this is how the idea of the novel "The Master and Margarita" was born. As P.Popov testified, in the last weeks of his life , Bulgakov "already lost his sight, fearlessly asked to read him about the last terrible days and hours of Gogol." During the Work on the "Dead souls", and then on the screenplay of the same poem and the "Government Inspector", Bulgakov for several years has plunged into the Gogol’s World. This immersion had a profound effect on his own works. Thus, two different destinies, two different people, all their lives were connected by an Invisible, Mystical, strong Thread. Maybe it was thanks to Gogol that the World has got acquainted with Mikhail Bulgakov and his Greatest Works. Today "The Master and Margarita", "Heart of a Dog", “A Dead Man’s Memoir" and other Works are the Classics of Russian Literature and by right had become the Favourite for many readers , on whom they made and continue to make Indelible Impression! Now we will present to Your Attention a brief overview of Two Greatest Works of Mikhail Afanasievich: "Heart of A Dog" and "The Master and Margarita" at 20.00 and 21.00 in our RUBRIC “CREATIVITY”!
