The Federal Agency for Culture and Cinematography

00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,960
Big animation studio " Pilot"

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,980
present

4
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:12,600
We live in Russia.

5
00:00:12,690 --> 00:00:15,210
Our coat of arms is a two-headed eagle.

6
00:00:15,210 --> 00:00:19,400
It holds in his claws a scepter and orb .

7
00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:23,200
The Russian flag is white, blue and red.

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,210
Her capital is the city of Moscow.

9
00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:29,440
In total, Russia has more than a thousand cities.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,820
Each of them is famous for something.

11
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:34,420
One of them is Nizhny Novgorod.

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Founded by the Suzdal Prince Yury Vsyevolodovitch

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,860
In 1221.

14
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:44,440
Some centuries ago, in the Russia darkest hour ,

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,940
when Moscow was occupied by the enemy,

16
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:51,470
the militia of Nizhny Novgorod 
came to the aid of the capital

17
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:53,660
and drove away the invaders.

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,600
Ringleaders of these brave warriors 
were Minin and Pozharsky

19
00:00:57,860 --> 00:01:02,800
In Moscow as well as Nizhny Novgorod
there is an identical monument for them.

20
00:01:02,850 --> 00:01:08,600
In Nizhny Novgorod began the production 
of the first cars of the country .

21
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:09,880
The Gaz.

22
00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:12,680
The Pobyeda (Victory).

23
00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:15,520
The Volga.

24
00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:17,640
The Chaika (Seagull).

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,500
In the city-province*, also lies the village
*krai, comparable to the German kreiss

26
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:21,850
Khokhloma,

27
00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:27,540
known for it's elegant woodwork 
painted with colorful patterns.

28
00:01:29,620 --> 00:01:33,900
Here are also told 
the most interesting fairy-tales

29
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:39,780
And each of them is like a precious stone.

30
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:44,660
Mountain of Gems

31
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:47,500
Nikita Kozhumyaka

32
00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:51,200
In ancient times,

33
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:54,620
on the banks of the Svetloj river,

34
00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:58,400
on a broad hill stood a great Russian city.

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,300
Everything in the city was beautiful,

36
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:02,640
It was a rich city,

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,740
where good people lived:

38
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:07,930
skilled artisans,

39
00:02:07,930 --> 00:02:09,560
bearded merchants,

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,230
noble boyars,

41
00:02:11,230 --> 00:02:15,320
but most famous the city was 
for its beautiful women.

42
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:18,310
The City was ruled by a Grand Duke.

43
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:22,150
People thrived and didn't know grief.

44
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:28,640
But then there came a black cloud!

45
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:34,750
Inside it lived a scary dragon.

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,400
He began to rob, no, ruin the people..

47
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:50,580
Don't dare to defend the town!

48
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:52,850
I'll zing you all with fire!

49
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:55,270
and dissolve you into dust!

50
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:58,000
If you want to stay alive ,

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,160
Be a good hand to me!

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,820
I'll come flying to you to eat fair maidens.

53
00:03:08,620 --> 00:03:09,960
Ooooy !

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,240
And the Dragon dragged away the young princess.

55
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,150
But she was such a beauty,

56
00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:35,320
that he did not eat her right away,

57
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,030
but decided to marry her.

58
00:03:42,380 --> 00:03:47,420
The serpent lived in a cave with his aunt Baba-Yaga.

59
00:03:49,660 --> 00:03:51,980
Ouch! What are you doing?

60
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,820
Look old woman, what a beauty I brought.

61
00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:00,230
She was the young wife of the prince ,

62
00:04:00,230 --> 00:04:03,180
but now she is my wife.

63
00:04:03,290 --> 00:04:07,720
Set the table Baba Yaga! I want to feast!

64
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:10,380
Hurry up, you old hag!

65
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,260
Flying ducks,

66
00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:44,030
Flyiiiing duuuucks...

67
00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:50,320
And two geese .... eees.

68
00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:52,740
And .. St. .. t . !

69
00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:55,040
and all that. I'm off to sleep.

70
00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:03,660
Meanwhile in the palace the prince 
thought his young wife was killed .

71
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:05,550
But her small dog whines,

72
00:05:05,550 --> 00:05:08,060
and wants to look for his mistress.

73
00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:11,860
The prince thinks that dog 
wants to cry to the wind.

74
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:22,980
Let me help, Grandma, please!

75
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:26,010
What's it to you, then?

76
00:05:27,150 --> 00:05:29,440
Don't you know who I am ?

77
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:31,740
I'm called Baba Yaga!

78
00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:34,520
The evil and insidious!

79
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:39,020
Yes, but I've become old.

80
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,620
What a difference 
to how it was before!

81
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,370
Oh, how much fun it was!

82
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:49,530
Me and the Serpent went 
for weeks without food, nor sleep

83
00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:52,620
doing nasty things to each other.

84
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,740
Ah, old age is not a joy.

85
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,540
I'm not a rival to the Serpent anymore.

86
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,390
Now he flies to the Svetloj river alone.

87
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:04,760
to bring hell and damnation to people.

88
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,310
And then he returns, 
but I, old woman, had enough.

89
00:06:10,460 --> 00:06:13,220
Is it possible to lift 
ones hand against him, grandma ?

90
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Stand up against him?!

91
00:06:19,330 --> 00:06:21,240
Is there no one in the world,

92
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,100
that could slay the serpent?

93
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:27,170
There is only one man.

94
00:06:27,370 --> 00:06:30,480
His name is Nikita Kozhumyaka .

95
00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:34,750
A hefty peasant with innumerable powers.

96
00:06:35,460 --> 00:06:37,940
that could save the skin of the settlement.

97
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,880
What if I would send a letter to the prince?

98
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,730
That he should command Nikita to defeat the Dragon.

99
00:06:59,890 --> 00:07:02,440
He can beat him, but not kill him,

100
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,640
Nevertheless a good trashing would be fine,

101
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,540
It would benefit us all.

102
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,720
Send Nikita Kozhemyakov to fight the Serpent.

103
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:32,300
Nikita ! the Prince is coming to you!

104
00:07:32,570 --> 00:07:34,880
When Nikita Kozhumyaka saw the prince

105
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,050
he tore all 12 skins in half.

106
00:07:38,050 --> 00:07:40,070
so surprised he was.

107
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,940
Nikita, please go to fight the Dragon ,

108
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:45,990
to save our land from the fierce reptile!

109
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,640
And save my dear wife !

110
00:07:49,330 --> 00:07:51,700
God be with you , Prince,

111
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:55,070
I am a craftsman, a timid man,

112
00:07:55,070 --> 00:07:56,390
When I saw you here,

113
00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:58,930
I was so startled that I tore all the skins.

114
00:07:58,930 --> 00:08:00,800
Quit a loss...

115
00:08:01,390 --> 00:08:02,740
So don't want to go?

116
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,920
No, I can not.

117
00:08:05,210 --> 00:08:07,720
So the prince got turned down,

118
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,260
and he went home to write a letter to Princess .

119
00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:13,130
As Nikita did not want to fight the Serpent.

120
00:08:13,130 --> 00:08:14,760
He was too scared.

121
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,470
Isn't there another hero that can beat the serpent?

122
00:08:20,610 --> 00:08:23,090
Maybe there is, but I never heard of him.

123
00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:24,980
In the meantime you're searching for him,

124
00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:28,160
The serpent will have snatched every beauty from the city.

125
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,490
Nikita needs to be persuaded!

126
00:08:30,490 --> 00:08:32,810
Let people go begging him!

127
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:40,440
And all people of the prince
gathered  to beg Nikita.

128
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:46,090
Uncle Nikita , have pity on us!

129
00:08:46,090 --> 00:08:48,460
Yet another year or two, and we'll have grown up,

130
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:50,680
and be carried off by the Serpent!

131
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,720
Alright, I'll go then.

132
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:57,030
Enough of this adversary that destroys out lives

133
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:00,610
Nikita wrapped himself in hemp ropes,

134
00:09:00,610 --> 00:09:02,820
had himself cast a mace

135
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:08,010
Pulled the heavy mace out of the ground,

136
00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:11,660
and followed the dog to the Serpent's lair .

137
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,380
Hey ! Come , Come to the open field Dragon!

138
00:09:18,380 --> 00:09:21,340
Don't hide in your lair !

139
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,930
Why don't you  quit with all the noise, 
and let me sleep!

140
00:09:26,930 --> 00:09:28,190
Is this really necessary?

141
00:09:28,190 --> 00:09:31,620
Get out of our land, 
while you're still in one piece!

142
00:09:31,620 --> 00:09:34,200
Remove yourself while you're still intact!

143
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Well, come out to fight, you dog!

144
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:39,360
Well, let's have some fun!

145
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,500
and mash your bones!

146
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,780
So they began to fight.

147
00:09:48,450 --> 00:09:50,820
All around the land was rumbling.

148
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,820
Three days and three nights 
Nikita fought with the Serpent .

149
00:10:00,310 --> 00:10:03,390
On the fourth day, tired,...

150
00:10:03,390 --> 00:10:05,580
they sat down to rest.

151
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:09,020
I'm hungry ...

152
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:11,000
Yes, would like a bite too...

153
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,460
Hey, old woman ! Bring us some food!

154
00:10:14,540 --> 00:10:16,510
Well, there isn't anything!

155
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:18,560
Only some amanita's remained,

156
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:20,960
Well those and some things we dried for the winter.

157
00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:22,700
So, mushrooms then?

158
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,250
No thanks.

159
00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:25,820
Well, if there is nothing to eat,

160
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:27,700
then let's at least play some cards .

161
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:28,640
You give up?

162
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:30,370
Let's play for it, then!

163
00:10:30,570 --> 00:10:34,070
Oh! If I win, I'll eat you.

164
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:35,400
Deal!

165
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,530
Well, if I win, I'll eat you!

166
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,580
You? Me?

167
00:10:40,580 --> 00:10:41,570
Yes, you!

168
00:10:41,570 --> 00:10:43,220
Who else?

169
00:11:02,060 --> 00:11:04,140
That scared the serpent.

170
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:07,020
If Nikita won convincingly,

171
00:11:07,020 --> 00:11:10,320
was he really going to eat him?

172
00:11:12,430 --> 00:11:14,750
Listen , Nikita.

173
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:17,820
Well, anywhere on the earth 
there is no one stronger than us.

174
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:20,170
Let's divide the land equally:

175
00:11:20,170 --> 00:11:22,800
You will live on one half ,

176
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,240
and I'll live on the other.

177
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,120
Well, if we agree on sharing.

178
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,720
Let's plow a border.

179
00:11:31,690 --> 00:11:35,680
The master smiths build a gigantic plow,

180
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:37,980
Nikita harnessed the serpent,

181
00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:41,210
and they began to divide the land.

182
00:11:41,210 --> 00:11:43,050
Day and night they plowed.

183
00:11:43,050 --> 00:11:45,980
They walked through the fields , through the woods ,

184
00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:49,150
through the mountains, across the deserts,

185
00:11:49,150 --> 00:11:54,150
And they plowed a border till they reached the Caspian Sea.

186
00:11:56,230 --> 00:12:01,030
Well, Nikita, now we have divided the land.

187
00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:03,870
Choose the side that you want to be yours.

188
00:12:04,060 --> 00:12:06,380
The earth is something we split...

189
00:12:06,380 --> 00:12:08,430
Now, let's divide the sea.

190
00:12:08,430 --> 00:12:11,180
Oh? why should we divide the sea?

191
00:12:11,180 --> 00:12:13,380
Well, if you do not want the sea,

192
00:12:13,380 --> 00:12:15,580
I'll take all of it then.

193
00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:17,700
Well no, let's divide further.

194
00:12:17,780 --> 00:12:20,180
just to be fair.

195
00:12:20,450 --> 00:12:23,260
The dragon pulled the plow further,

196
00:12:23,260 --> 00:12:25,860
And went down in the waters of the sea .

197
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:28,960
Deeper and deeper.

198
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,260
It hasn't been seen ever since.

199
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,620
Nikita didn't want anything for his work.

200
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,180
He went home, back to kneading his skins.

201
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:45,430
The young princess returned to her husband.

202
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:47,890
And they began to live even better than before.

203
00:12:48,370 --> 00:12:51,260
And Baba Yaga is still alive too.

204
00:12:51,550 --> 00:12:53,120
She uses to come to the sea

205
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,570
and sigh towards the Dragon .

206
00:12:56,570 --> 00:13:00,650
Although you are my nephew,

207
00:13:00,650 --> 00:13:03,250
Phoei! You shamed our family..
