It was the first Soviet adaptation of Bulgakov's writings directed by [[Aleksandr Alov]] and [[Vladimir Naumov]], with Bulgakov's third wife Elena Bulgakova credited as a "literary consultant". The film was officially selected for the [[1971 Cannes Film Festival]]. *''[[The Master and Margaret (1972 film)|The Master and Margaret]]'' (1972) β a joint Yugoslav-Italian drama directed by [[Aleksandar PetroviΔ (film director)|Aleksandar PetroviΔ]], the first adaptation of the novel of the same name, along with ''Pilate and Others''.

The film focused on the biblical part of the story, and the action was moved to the modern-day [[Frankfurt]]. *''[[Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future]]'' (1973) β an adaptation of Bulgakov's science fiction/comedy play ''[[Ivan Vasilievich (play)|Ivan Vasilievich]]'' about an unexpected visit of [[Ivan the Terrible]] to the modern-day Moscow. It was directed by one of the leading Soviet comedy directors [[Leonid Gaidai]]. With 60.7 million viewers on the year of release it became the 17th most popular film ever produced in the USSR.<ref>[https://www.kinopoisk.ru/top/lists/184/ Soviet box office leaders] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171002003153/https://www.kinopoisk.ru/top/lists/184/ |date=2 October 2017 }} at [[KinoPoisk]]</ref> *''[[Cuore di cane|Dog's Heart]]'' (1976) β a joint Italian-German science fiction/comedy film directed by [[Alberto Lattuada]]. It was the first adaptation of the ''[[Heart of a Dog]]'' satirical novel about an old scientist who tries to grow a man out of a dog. *''[[The Days of the Turbins (1976 film)|The Days of the Turbins]]'' (1976) β a three-part Soviet TV drama directed by [[Vladimir Basov]]. It was an adaptation of the [[The Days of the Turbins|play of the same name]] which, at the same time, was Bulgakov's stage adaptation of ''The White Guard'' novel. *''[[Heart of a Dog (1988 film)|Heart of a Dog]]'' (1988) β a Soviet black-and-white TV film directed by [[Vladimir Bortko]], the second adaptation of the novel of the same name. Unlike the previous version, this film follows the original text closely, while also introducing characters, themes and dialogues featured in other Bulgakov's writings. *''[[The Master and Margarita (1988 TV series)|The Master and Margarita]]'' (1989) β a Polish TV drama in four parts directed by [[Maciej Wojtyszko]]. It was noted by critics as a very faithful adaptation of the original novel. *''After the Revolution'' (1990) β a feature-length film created by AndrΓ‘s Szirtes, a Hungarian filmmaker, using a simple video camera, from 1987 to 1989. It is a very loose adaptation, but for all that, it is explicitly based on Bulgakov's novel, in a thoroughly experimental way. What you see in this film is documentary-like scenes shot in Moscow and Budapest, and New York, and these scenes are linked to the novel by some explicit links, and by these, the film goes beyond the level of being but a visual documentary which would only have reminded the viewer of The Master and Margarita. *''[[Incident in Judaea]]'', a 1991 film by Paul Bryers for Channel 4, focussing on the biblical parts of The Master and Margarita. *''[[The Master and Margarita (1994 film)|The Master and Margarita]]'' (1994) β Russian film directed by [[Yuri Kara]] in 1994 and released to public only in 2011. Known for a long, troubled post-production due to the director's resistance to cut about 80 minutes of the film on the producers' request, as well as copyright claims from the descendants of [[Elena Sergeevna Bulgakova|Elena Bulgakova]] (Shilovskaya). *''[[The Master and Margarita (miniseries)|The Master and Margarita]]'' (2005) β Russian TV mini-series directed by Vladimir Bortko and his second adaptation of Bulgakov's writings. Screened for [[Russia-1]], it was seen by 40 million viewers on its initial release, becoming the most popular Russian TV series.<ref>[http://mignews.com/news/interview/cis/180206_192635_56773.html Vladimir Bortko about The Master and Margarita] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200224091611/http://mignews.com/news/interview/cis/180206_192635_56773.html |date=24 February 2020 }} interview to the MIGNnews.com website (in Russian)</ref> *''[[Morphine (film)|Morphine]]'' (2008) β Russian film directed by [[Aleksei Balabanov]] loosely based on Bulgakov's autobiographical short stories ''Morphine'' and ''[[A Country Doctor's Notebook]]''.
