    Guru Constantine !
    Work undertaken for the collection of information is very valuable. But!
    A . It is clear that this selection - no gag . Load it up lit.ssylkami , and then the discussion will be possible , which is always desirable for the sake of Truth and the Truth.
    Two . Unfortunately , you will not have reached to the overriding sense, symbolized by the number 14.
       Mikhail Bulgakov , apparently , was dedicated as Andrew White , like Nikolai Gumilev, like many other early twentieth -century humanists . Describing the basement apartment , he does not accidentally pointed to the 14- meter room , which created the master .
    Symbolism of "The Master and Margarita " is very correct with respect to the sacred knowledge , which can not be said about the distortions nedoumiya , layered over tens of centuries.

    In his book " The Evolution of Rights" I'm reasonably reveal the semantic system of numbers , but the whole book as a whole, is not available for most because of the high cost of publication. I'll try to write another essay, expressing my knowledge and opinion.
    Thanks for the site. Magnolia .
