Plot[edit]

Once upon a time, there were a Tsar and his wife, the Tsarina. They also had a son, Prince Ivan-Tsarevich. Everything would have been good if Ivan's parents hadn't come one morning and told him about the 'Beloved Beauty', a beautiful girl about whom the nurses sang. Ivan then began to dream of the 'Beloved Beauty'. One day, he decided to venture into the world to find the Beloved Beauty. Ivan-Tsarevich went, and was accompanied by a robber named Bulat who became a sworn brother on the way. They soon found out that Koschei the Immortal had imprisoned the Beauty with him. Ivan-Tsarevich and Bulat defeated Koschei, and Beloved Beauty and Mar'yushka, Koschei's servant, got out. They were then also brought to the Tsar's chambers, and the Tsar organized two weddings and they lived happily ever after.
