To the best of my knowledge, that couple has been occupied with
Tolstoy and Dostoevskii. They haven't gone after Bulgakov yet.

That's from the article I mentioned:

"Since the great success of "The Brothers Karamazov," Pevear and Volokhonsky have translated (for a variety of publishers) all of the major Dostoyevsky novels and many of his stories; Mikhail Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita"; a selection of Chekhov's short stories and one of his short novels; and, most famously, Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina."

I am corrected and chastened by both you, Vlad and DK. My mistake.

Well, you probably today know Russian to the extent that a question of best translation deserves only casual interest.
