I believe to understand The Master And Margarita the reader should be aware of what was happening in Russia. Woland is of course Stalin. The government rejects Christianity, illustrated with Pilate condemning Jesus, and makes a pact with the Devil --Woland.
Most of the ribald happenings show what is going on in the Communist world at that time. The whole thing becomes much clearer with a large glass of vodka.
