10. Summary of the thesis results:

M. Bulgakov is one of the greatest and most unique writers in 20th-century Russian literature. One of the most prominent features of his creative style is satire. Studying satire in the writer's stories and novels is a current trend in Bulgakov studies.

M. Bulgakov used elements of fantasy, grotesqueness, and illusion as a veneer to reflect the social reality of Russia in the 1920s and 1930s. Through satirical imagery, he warned of the disaster of social reform programs that went against the laws of natural and social life, leading to the emergence of individuals with deformed minds and souls.

Based on intertextual artistic elements and archetypes in real life, M. Bulgakov created character motifs (teacher-student motif) and plot motifs (Christian motif, power motif, etc.) within a multi-dimensional world full of evocative philosophical meaning.

The satire in M. Bulgakov's science fiction not only inherits the tradition of classical writers (Gogol, Kafka) but also represents a unique and creative innovation of a realist writer of the Soviet era.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

M. Bulgakov was one of the great Russian writers in the first half of the 20th century. One of the features of Bulgakov' poetics is a parody. The poetics of Parody in the works of Mixail Bugakov became the predominant trend in Bugakov Studies.

M. Bulgakov uses fatastic, grotesque and parody as the way to reflect Russian social reality of the decades 1920-1930 of twentieth century. Throught the parody he actually warned the catastrophe of the socially transformed Projects, which against the laws of life and give rise to the ogres in terms of mind and soul.

Through the intertextuality and prototypes in the real life, M. Bulgakov has created the motifs protagonist (teacher - student) and plot (biblical stories, power motif...) which belongs to philosophically multi-dimensional world.

A parody of Bulgakov' scientific-fantasy works was not only the inheritance of tradition of classic writers (Gogol, Kafka), but also a unique innovation in the Russian literatue of the Soviet era.
