Master i Margarita - 1997

Svetlana Petrova and Natalya Berezovaya

Argus International is a leading producer of animation films in Russia, established in Moscow in the summer of 1991. Soon, the company was cited among major animation studios of Western Europe, and in the course of the first years it joined the group of studios producing high-quality animation films not only in Europe, but all over the world. In 1997, Argus International produced a short animation film Margarita, based on The Master and Margarita. It was directed by Svetlana Petrova and Natalya Berezovaya (°1973). I don't know if the company still exists, since the last messages on the news page of their website were posted in 2005.

I don’t know much about Svetlana Petrova, but Natalya Berezovaya is often present at animation film festivals all over the world. After the triumphant Cat's Story , she went on collecting prizes for the film It's My Life. In 2003, she joined the Pilot Animation Studio in Moscow.
