Which Russian writer do you believe is the most underestimated?
I believe Mikhail Bulgakov is both overestimated and underestimated at the same time. The Master and Margarita is brilliant, but it has become the only Bulgakov for most foreign readers. His other works (Heart of a Dog, White Guard, A Young Doctor's Notebook) are much more grounded and, in some ways, sharper. Abroad, people often read Bulgakov as a surrealist or a satirist, but inside the post-Soviet space he is also a deeply tragic and very realistic writer.
