The first Disney Studio’s Russian movie, namely the fairy tale The Book of Masters featuring Liya Akhedzhakova, Leonid Kuravlyov, Aleksandr Lenkov and other stars of Russian cinema goes on general release in Russia from October 29.
      
      The Director General of Disney Studio in Russia Marina Zhigalova-Ozkan says that though it is the first Russian film by Disney Studio, it is “absolutely Russian”.
      
      The Book of Masters is a sort of a potpourri, where characters from Russian folklore, and Pushkin’s and Bazhov’s fairy tales are brought together.
      
      The action is ironical, supplemented with modern interpretation and, according to Disney’s requirements, changing the characters for the better.
      The film director is Vadim Sokolovsky, who co-created it jointly with Anna Starobinets.
