Preliminary information - After migrating this website from the American hosting company Network Solutions to the Belgian hosting company Combell in June 2026, Combell informed me that my website was using tracking cookies of which I was unaware. These are cookies placed by companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and others in links that forward visitor data to their websites or services, such as Google Analytics. I am tracking down all these cookies to remove them, and I hope to be finished with this by July 31, 2026. The goal is to collect only data that is strictly necessary for the functioning of the website and that is desired by the visitors.


Who am I?

My name is Jan Vanhellemont. I live at Horengang No. 5 in 3000 Leuven, Belgium. I launched this website in its current form as a non-profit project on November 6, 2006. The website is intended as a tribute to the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov and his renowned novel The Master and Margarita, and at the same time as a source of information about this novel, its characters, the places described in it, and the political, social, economic, and cultural context in which it was written between 1928 and 1940.
