Found this Master and Margarita book letterpress with these illustrations (creepy) but it was not in English, I purchased it anyway. Really creepy covers and illustrations https://postimg.cc/gallery/X0K26yj

>1 curiousbooks: Could you kindly share some details of the publication? Is it an older Soviet edition, or a modern Russian one?

>3 curiousbooks: Is the publisher Vita Nova/Вита Нова?? That's a long shot, as the illustrations are totally different from the VN edition I'm familiar with.

>5 Glacierman: guys I’m an American and don’t speak Russian just wanted to have this book with creepy illustrations in the original language. I also have first uk edition of this book. Not familiar with vita nova at all. Will take front page pictures since most American uk publishers put their identifying information there. Unless it’s different with Russian books

Looks like 2005 (or 2001???) edition from "Интрейд Корпорейшн" ("Intrade Corporation"). More photos from this edition can be found here (text in Russian):
