The films
Vladimir Bortko - The Master and Margarita)
Many visitors to this site knew the TV series directed by Vladimir Bortko, but could not fully enjoy it, because the official DVD was only in Russian. Some websites like Amazon present a DVD box with English subtitles but these are, to say the least, not really good.
That's why I subtitled the series by myself, not only in English but also in German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and French.

Yuri Kara - The Master and Margarita
The film made by Yuri Kara in 1994 was only officially released in the Russian cimema theatres in April 2011. Before, while the film was under embargo, there existed an unofficial version on DVD with 205 minutes of film, which is 87 minutes more than the film which was officially released. On this website, we offer both versions with English, German, French, Italian and Dutch subtitles. The image quality of the version from 1994 is far less than the image quality of the re-mastered version from 2011, but it's a unique document of its time, and the extra minutes may tempt many fans.

Maciej Wojtyszko - The Master and Margarita
One of the hidden gems in the area of the film versions of The Master and Margarita is definitely the Polish TV series Mistrz i Malgorzata realized by director Maciej Wojtyszko in 1988, and shown on the Polish TV channel TVP in 1990. Until recently, those who wanted to watch this series could only rely on substandard VHS tapes of poor quality. They were offered on Amazon with vague, blurred images, a poor sound quality and lousy English subtitles. Fortunately, in the autumn of 2014 TVP got quite unexpectedly the idea to release the series on DVD. Your webmaster made subtitles in English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish.

A Dog's Heart
Before he made The Master and Margarita, Vladimir Bortko had filmed another successful mini series after a work by Bulgakov. A Dog's Heart has two episodes and was a great success when it was on television in 1988. The film is subtitled in English, French and Dutch.

The White Guard
In the spring of 2012, the Russian TV channel Rossia 1 broadcast the impressive TV-series The White Guard by director Sergey Snizhkin, based on the eponymous novel by Mikhail Bulgakov. The beautiful renderings of some of the best Russian actors bring this series to unprecedented height. The film is subtitled in English, French and Dutch.

Morphine
In 2008, film director Aleksey Balabanov made a screen adaptation of the stories which Mikhail Bulgakov wrote about his life as a country doctor in A Young Doctor's Notebook. The film Morphine was never released on DVD, but we could get hold of a copy, and made subtitles for it in English, French, Italian and Dutch.

The Days of the Turbins
In 1976, film director Vladimir Basov made a screen adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's theatre play The Days of the Turbins. This play was Mikhail Bulgakov's own theatre adaptation of his novel The White Guard. We made subtitles for it in English, French and Dutch.

Ivan Vasilievich - Back to the Future
In 1973, film director Leonid Gaidai made a screen adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's theatre play Ivan Vasilievich changes professions. Actor Yuri Yakovlev (1928-2013) plays a brilliant double role in it. We made subtitles for it in English, French and Dutch.

The Flight
In 1970, film directors Alexander Alov and Vladimir Naumov made a screen adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's theatre play The Flight. One of the most remarkable roles is played by Mikhail Ulyanov, the actor who was also Pontius Pilatus in Yuri Kara's film Master of Margarita. We made subtitles in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and French for this movie.

Cuore di cano
In 1976, eleven years before the novel Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov was published for the first time in the Soviet Union, and twelve years before Vladimir Bortko adapted the story into a highly acclaimed mini-series, the Italian director Alberto Lattuadda had already made a film of it. Cuore di Cane was highly praised for the acting performances. Not only for Max von Sydow as professor Preobrazhensky, but also for the performances of Mario Adorf (Doctor Bormenthal) and Cochi Ponzoni (Bobikov), and certainly for the work of dog trainer Luciano Spinelli, who prepared the dog Whisky to leave an unforgettable mark. We made subtitles in English, Spanish, Italian, French and Russianfor this movie.

Your opinion
[en] We both sat enthralled by the TV mini-series. Charlie Stone and Tanya Wolfkamp, New Zealand.
[en] I already have the 3-DVD box from Ama-zon, but their subtitles are not good. You have done a much better job.
Erik Duhs Nilsen, Norway.
[en] I congratulate you on this endeavor - ma-king available to enthusiasts a good film ren-dition (one of the very few available !) of this great literary work.
Emil Marcus, Matawan, NJ, USA.
[en] Since I understand English and French, I say: effective English and French transla-tions. I prefer French, because I believe it is easier to render Bulgakov's Russian humor and irony in French than it is in English.
Emil Marcus, Matawan, NJ, USA.
[en] I applaud your efforts!
Marc Kaplan, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Our subtitles
On November 16, 2007, the department of Slavonic Languages and East European Stu-dies of the Catholic University of Leuven, and the Department of Russian of the Lessius Ho-geschool in Antwerp, organised the 5th Day of the Flemish Slavonics, which was de-voted entirely to The Master and Margarita.
The webmaster of this site, who was invited to take care of the multimedia on this seminar, seized the opportunity to subtitle some frag-ments of Vladimir Bortko's TV-series and Yuri Kara's movie picture from 1994 in Dutch.
It was the start of our subtitling project. The subtitles we made for the seminar in 2007 seem very unprofessional when you look at them today, but for the sake of good old times nostalgy you can watch them following the links hereunder.
