Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the beginning, when Nastyenka pleases the sun to wait till she finishes the socks, the sun rises from the right side (west). Russia is situated on Northern hemisphere, so it's clear that the scene was actually shot during twilight and the sunrise is actually dusk played backwards. more
Quotes:
Singer #1: [singing] Oh, you dear boy, Ivan. Come to meet me at the gate! I got a brand-new sarafan, all of silk and lace it's made!
Singer #2: [singing] Vania, Vania, wait a bit, where have you been to? Don't pass by, we must meet. Look into my window!
Group of Singers: [singing] Please, Ivan, don't leave forever, on the porch we'll sit together. Of an apple, take a bite, we'll be talking, side by side.

Do not try to understand..., 5 November 2001
10/10
Author: stajna from The Czech Republic

All you people from the western hemisphere, please, do not waste your time trying to understand this fairly-tale. As I can read from the comments, the majority of you are not successful at all and it gives me the impression that the cultural difference is really too big for you to comprehend. If you do not understand, do not dispraise it. We also do not understand a big part of your culture but I do not hear anybody to say: "burn it all". Be tolerant and take it as a part of cultural heritage you do not have.
