The Fatal Eggs," written in 1924 and published in early 1925, was the first of Bulgakov's works to attract widespread attention-and a storm of controversy. Recipient of a few positive reviews as well as uniformly enthusiastic praise-privately expressed-from writers and editors, the novella was also the object of virulent attack from a number of (mostly proletarian) critics. Among the attackers were those who saw the work as a thinly veiled allegory and Professor Persikov's discovery of the "revolutionary" red ray as an allusion to the socialist experiments of the bolsheviks
