The Tale of Tsar Saltan

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin worked on "The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of his glorious and mighty son Prince Guidon Saltanovich and of the beautiful Swan Princess" for many years.

Taking the basis of the work from folk folklore, he changed the plot at his discretion, carefully thought out the images of the heroes, invented bright names, and clothed the tale in a beautiful poetic form, adapting it to folk poetry. In 1832, "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" was published and immediately adored by readers.

Of course, this magical story has received numerous wonderful adaptations, one of which was the film by director and producer Sarik Andreasyan.
