Grave of Mikhail Bulgakov
Mikhail Bulgakov, one of the most famous Russian novelists of the 20th century (his most well known work is The Master and Margarita), is buried in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery in one of the graveyard's few simple graves. I suspect the Soviet Union in 1970 couldn't make up its mind as to whether or not Bulgakov deserved to be enshrined in Novodevichy, thus the simple tomb.
About this place:
Founded in the late 1800s next to the 16th century Novodevichy Monastery, Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery is regarded as the most famous cemetery in Russia. Not only does it house some of Russia's most famous dead (including Khruschev, Gogol, Bulgakov, Shostakovich and many others), but the graves are not mere tombstones, they're works of art. A must see for all visitors to Moscow!
