The prototype Behemoth
At the famous assistant Voland there was a real prototype, but in life it was not a cat and dog - black dog Bulgakov, nicknamed Hippo. This dog was very intelligent.

Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future
Even in 1934, Mikhail Bulgakov wrote the play-comedy "Ivan" on how Moscow inventor Nikolai Timofeev creates a time machine and brings the modern world (ie 1934) of Ivan the Terrible. In turn, the past fall counterpart Ivan the Terrible superintendent Bunsha-Koretsky, and swindler George Miloslavsky. Contemporaries Bulgakov tortured author requests for changes or modifications. Everyone was afraid of the obvious similarities between the personalities of Ivan the Terrible and Josef Stalin.
Triumphant success came to "Ivan Vasilyevich" in 1973, when to play a hand in this brilliant master of cinema Leonid Gaidai Iovich. The director kept Bulgakov line almost completely, but he still had to adapt the parts 30s to the realities of the 70's. For example, a gramophone, mentioned in the play, was changed into a tape recorder, worsted overcoat - on suede jacket, but in the time machine used transistors. In the scene of the meeting with Ivan the Terrible Yakin mentioned the names popular in the 70s movie stars. The play is mentioned that Bunsha was the son of the prince, but the Bunsha refutes this on the grounds that in fact his biological father - the driver Pantelei; in the film, this episode is omitted as obvious anachronism. At the same time, Zina in the film, like the play, complaining that she had "taken away the gloves in a cafe," though in the 70s women did not wear gloves in the summer (at least in the USSR).
Other changes did not touch directly to the time difference. It changed the name of the Timofeyev: in the play he Nicholas, and in the film - Alexander. This was done in order to combine all three films Gaidai ("Operation" Y "and other adventures Shurik", "Caucasian captive" and "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes Occupation») one character: a former student and now an engineer Shurik.
By the way, the American audience the film is also a sign, but under the changed name: "Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future» («Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future» and «Ivan the Terrible: Back to the Future»).

Never, do not ask! Do nothing, and especially those who are stronger than you. Offer themselves and give themselves all!
He who loves must share the fate of someone he loves.
Happiness is like health: When it is there, you do not notice it.
Evil lurks in men who avoid wine, games, society, charming women, table talk. These people are sick or gravely, or secretly hate others.
Second freshness - that is nonsense! Freshness is only one - the first, it is also the last. And if sturgeon second freshness, it means that it is rotten!
Achiever throughout the one who is in a hurry.
Only through suffering comes true ... That's right, do not worry! But in the knowledge of the truth do not pay any money or do not give rations. Sad but true.
Maybe money is prevented to be pretty. Here, for example, no one has any money, and everything nice.
On the crime does not go never against whomever it may be directed. Before they reach old age with clean hands.
In the world there are only two forces: Dollars and literature.
It is enough to chase a man under fire, and he turns into a wolf wise; replaced by a very weak and really difficult cases unnecessary mind grows wise animal instinct.
Evil people do in the world, there are only people unhappy.
The writer will always be in opposition to the policy until the policy itself will be in opposition to the culture.
