Hello,

The movie directed by Aleksandr Ptushko sent us many centuries back. We’ll watch an epic fairy-tale about Prince Vladimir, his youngest daughter and her groom brave knight Ruslan… and of course there will be an evil wizard. But stop I am not going to retell the plot. Just let’s watch and enjoy of Alexander Pushkin‘s poetry (all texts in the movie is his poem Ruslan and Ludmila) and its very beautiful and rich cinema interpretation.

    I watched this movie at cinema Bakhtar in the year of 1974 or perhaps 1975 in the city of Kabul-Afghanistan,four to three years before intervention and occupation of that country by the men in Kremlin. Please consider that i have a profound regard for the soviet masses , the Great October revolution and the great proletariat leaders ,Linen and Stalin.
