"Diaboliad" is a satirical story by the famous Russian writer, playwright and theater figure Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (1891-1940). Comrade Korotkov serves as a clerk at a match factory and is quite confident in the future. But one fine day the plant employees are told that there will be no salaries - there is no money. And after a couple of days they still give me a salary, but not in money, but... in matches. Fame and recognition were brought to Mikhail Bulgakov by his works "La Boheme", "In the Cafe", "The Red Crown", "Memory", "The Blizzard", "Future Prospects", "Day of Our Lives", "The Missing Eye", "The Star Rash" , "On the benefits of alcoholism." Many of Mikhail Bulgakov's works were banned by Soviet censorship, and this very fact characterizes him as a free-thinking person. His talent is admired by readers all over the world, his works have been translated into different languages and films have been made based on many of them.
