Scenes from the novel

A new friend

Vladimir Bortko

In most of the translations of The Master and Margarita the master meets Aloisy Mogarych, the man who reported him to the secret police, only at Woland's after the ball. In the original Russian text, however, he met him much earlier, when he found a new friend in the garden of his basement.

On this page you can see how Vladimir Bortko filmed this encounter in his TV-serial from 2005.
