The article presents a paradoxical fact of using the name of Mikhail Bulgakov in the newspaper discussion of perestroika, when in 1987 a group of Estonian intellectuals opposed the intention to establish inTallinna memorial board to the writer Vsevolod Vishnevsky, a fierce apologist of Soviet power. The existence of censorship prevented direct expression, and Estonian writers found a euphemistic move, arguing the impossibility of perpetuating the memory of Vishnevsky as the organizer of the persecution of Mikhail Bulgakov. The deconstruction of relevant texts of articles published in the Estonian and Central Soviet press, carried out in the article, demonstrates the transformation of polemics in the "literary field" in the confrontation at the national and social level. In the changing socio-political conditions, the name of the writer Mikhail Bulgakov, disgraced in the 1920s-1930s, acquires a decisive force.
