Nadezhda (Nadya) Nikolaevna Rusheva (1952-1969) was a Russian artist, born in Mongolia. During her short life she created o-ver 10.000 drawings. Impetuous and impulsi-ve, free of all conventions, they were percei-ved by her contemporaries as a revelation. She arranged sheets with her drawings of The Master and Margarita so as to form a kind of book on which Bulgakov's widow, E-lena Sergeevna left a note: "I wish I knew this amazing and subtle creature, Nadya Ru-sheva".

Nadya's Margarita bears a striking resem-blance to Elena Sergeevna, although they ne-ver met. It's amazing how the 16-year-old girl penetrated into adult feelings and historical epochs depicted by Bulgakov, where she got that virtuoso grotesque for scenes from a variety show. How she could feel so deeply and know so much remains a mystery. She saw what they eye cannot see.
