Technical Presentation by Graham Hartnel

Broadcast - not sure. I recorded it off the World Service

ten or so years back, but it's much older than that.

Coded from tape at 128/44.1



Frankenstein type fantasy in which a prole's heart is grafted

into a mongrel dog which then attacks its masters ... loosely

hidden attack on the way the Russian Revolution was turning out.



Fortunately for Bulgakov, Stalin could stand a certain amount

of criticism from artists. It's no 'Master and Margarita', but

good fun all the same.
