Abstract
The article examines Stanislav Sokolov's animated film “Bulgakov” as a unique artistic interpretation of Mikhail Bulgakov's works and an important event in modern Russian animation. It explores the rendering of dramatic, visual, stylistic and symbolic traits of Bulgakov's texts. The relevance of the present treatise gets in line with the growing interest in interdisciplinary research on literature and animation. Its novelty lies in the systematic analysis of the film as a work of art in its own right. The methods used to identify and interpret the key artistic aspects include the stylistic and semiotic approaches.
