Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Evpaty Kolovrat is a semi-legendary figure in Russian folklore, making this basically their King Arthur but with way more screaming.
The film was Russia's most expensive production at release, which explains why they could afford SO many horses to tragically murder.
