Request

Can someone look over my presentation please? This time it's about the Chechnyan war. I don't know how touchy this subject is, but I'd appreciate it if you could keep the comments to grammatical corrections as well as any glaring, obviously wrong data that I may have gathered. Thanks.

What is a good translation for the Russian proverb "здоровье в порядке спасибо зарядкe"?

I have some Russian classic novels by Tolstoy, Gorky etc. in English that I don't need. Giving them away for free. Can mail within North America (Canada preferable). Regretfully I cannot vouch for the quality of translation (haven't read them).

Black Snow - Bulgakov

[marta-mb.livejournal.com]

I just borrowed a book called "The Black Snow" by Mikhail Bulgakov. It's the recent translation of "Teatral'nyj Roman" ("Zapiski Pokojnika"), translated by Michael Glenny. I wonder why the title was altered to the Black Snow?
He also translated a number of works of Bulgakov (White Guard, The Heart of a Dog). If you ever came across these translations, what is your opinion of them?
And one more question: is the film The Master and Margarita worth watching? Thanks.
