Vasilisa Mikulishna. Frames from the cartoon. Directed by Roman Davydov. 1975
The hero was the daughter of Mikula Selyaninovich Vasilisa, who became the wife of the boyar Stavr Godinovich from the land of Lyakhovitskaya, Chernigov-grad. At the feast at Prince Vladimir, the boyar boasted to the guests of his wife:
In the third chamber - a young wife,
Young Vasilisa, daughter of Nikulishna.
She has a white face, exactly white snow,
Buttocks are exactly poppy seeds,
Black eyebrows of the black sable,
The clear eyes are clear to the falcon,
With a zealous heart, she is cunning-wise.
On the advice of the envious boyars, Prince Vladimir put Stavr in an earthen cellar, and sent the heroes Alyosha Popovich and Dobrynya Nikitich for the wonderful Vasilisa. Having learned about the ridicule and misfortune that happened to her husband, Vasilisa Mikulishna cut off her blond braids, disguised herself as a good fellow and went with 50 horsemen to the capital Kiev city. On the way, I met the heroes-messengers of Vladimir and, posing as the formidable ambassador of Vasilisa Mikulishna, Vasily Vasilyevich, deployed the capital messengers.
The prince gave the young man an honest reception, but Princess Apraksia noticed that a woman was hiding under a man's name: “This is Vasilisa exactly the daughter of Mikulishna; / She walks on the floor quietly, / Sits on the bench - she squeezes her knees. "... The brave wife had to go through trials: Vasilisa steamed in a hot "banyushka-parushka", played cards and fought with other heroes. As a result, she demanded that the prince release Stavr Godinovich from captivity and went home with her husband.

"A rattle of daring, daughter of Mikula Selyaninovich." An excerpt of the illustration for the epic about Vasily Buslaev for the "Jester" magazine. 1898. State Russian Museum
Vasilisa's sister, the youngest daughter of Mikula Selyaninovich, was the wife of Dobrynya Nikitich. They met in an open field, where the hero went after the battle with the Serpent Gorynych. On the way, he saw a bold hero, decided to check “Or does Dobrynya not have the strength in the old way? / Or does he still have no grip? ":
I caught up with Dobrynya Polyanitsa, I am a hero,
Hit the Polyanitsa with a damask club,
Yes, hit her in the head of a riot.
Polyanitsa will look back here,
Polyanitsa says these are the words:
- I thought mosquitoes bite me,
And this is the Russian hero clicks.
In a duel, Polyanitsa defeated Dobrynya. They liked each other, and the hero wooed her: "We had a wedding and finished it." Later, Prince Vladimir sent Dobrynya to the outpost to protect Mother Russia from the steppe riders. Nastasya Mikulishna, like Penelope, was waiting for her lover for 12 long years. During this time, another well-known hero, Alyosha Popovich, wooed her several times. After six years of Dobrynin's service, he brought the news of his “death” to his wife, and after 12 years he came with the prince and princess to play a wedding with Polyanitsa. This time, "they did not want to take it - they did it." Dobrynya learned about the celebration in time and came to the feast as an uninvited guest with a harp. He beat Alyosha Popovich, took Nastasya Mikulishna and returned to his white-stone mansion.
And they began to live with Nastasya Mikulishna,
Already, they began to live better than before.
Nastasya Okulevna
Sergey Solomko. "Marya Lebed white"
Ivan Bilibin. "Mikhailo Potyk". 1902
Leonid Kiparisov. "Mikhailo Potyk and Marya Lebed White". 2016
"Soul-maiden" Nastasya Okulevna is one of the heroines of the legend about the hero Mikhailo Potyk. She saved him from the intrigues of his ex-wife, Marya White Swan. While Mikhailo fought with enemies in an open field, Marya became the Tsar's beloved and left with him. Returning, the hero rushed after her, falling into the traps of his cunning wife on the way: he drank a sleeping potion-wine, fell into a deep hole, was turned into a combustible pebble. The last time, having drunk the hero, Marya crucified him in the basement on a stone wall and left him to die. It was then that the Tsar's sister, Nastasya Okulevna, saved Mikhaila:
How is this Nastasya here Okulevna
Soon, soon she ran to the forge,
She took iron tongs there,
Tore off the police from the wall
And Mikhaylushka Potyka is young.
She healed of her wounds, and by cunning took out a saber and a hero's club, a good horse, from her brother. Mikhailo returned to the royal chambers, killed both his ex-wife and the king. He married Nastasya Okulevna and began to rule.
Nastasya Korolevichna
Nikolay Karazin. "Danube Ivanovich kills his wife." 1885
Konstantin Vasiliev. "The birth of the Danube". 1974
Sergey Solomko. "Nastasya Korolevichna"
Nastasya Korolevichna is the beloved of Danube Ivanovich. The hero met her when he went to Lithuania to woo Prince Vladimir, the princess Apraks. Apraksya's father, the Lithuanian king Danila Manoilovich, did not give his daughter to the matchmakers, and then the heroes took her away by force. Sister Nastasya went after the “got the bride”.
She rode in pursuit across a clear field,
And she rode on a heroic horse
Yes, for a glorious expanse I clean the field;
The horse galloped for a whole verst,
Up to his knees he gagged into the earth,
He snatched his legs from the earth,
On the hay bush, he twisted the earthen,
For three shots, he threw away the pebbles.
Danube Ivanovich entered a duel with a daring Polyanitsa and soon - as it happened in other epics - made her an offer. And Nastasya Korolevichna accepted him.
Two weddings were celebrated in Kiev. However, Danube Ivanovich and his young wife did not live together for long. The hero somehow boasted of his prowess, and Nastasya Korolevichna objected to him: "But I am not worse than you in any way: my strength is greater than yours, and my grip is farther than you.".
Such a phrase hurt his honor - and he challenged his wife to a duel. Each had to hit the silver ring on the opponent's head with an arrow. Polyanitsa hit, but Danube Ivanovich killed his wife. Upon learning that she was carrying a baby in the womb, the hero thrust a spear into himself out of grief. From his blood was born the Danube River, and from the blood of Nastasya Korolevichna - the river Nepra.
Daughter of Ilya Muromets
Viktor Vasnetsov. Heroic skok. 1914. House-Museum of V.M. Vasnetsova
And from the back not to see the neck white.
Passing by, she mocked the heroes. Ilya Muromets invited his comrades-in-arms to fight with the daring girl. However, no one dared to engage in a battle with the warrior, who "Grabbing a club with one hand, like playing with a swan feather"... And then the hero himself went to a meeting with Polyanitsa. They fought for a long time - with clubs, spears, and hand-to-hand combat - and suddenly they started talking. Having asked where the Polyanitsa came from, Ilya Muromets recognized his daughter as a hero, hugged her and let her go. However, she soon returned back, planning to kill her sleeping father. This time, the hero defeated his rival and fed it to the gray wolves and black crows.
In epic plots, Ilya Muromets met with the Polyanets more than once. Among them are the wife of the hero Savishna, and Zlatigorka, who bore him a son.
In Kiev, Kolyvan takes away jewelry from the townspeople, and Baba Yaga organizes a ball. The wives of the heroes learn that their husbands have been replaced, and Julius, Prince, grandmother and Tikhon are organizing a partisan movement. They are found in the cowshed by giant hares, but a cow in love with Julia saves the partisans. The prince appears on the streets of the city and calls on the townspeople to rebel against the usurpers, and the wives of the heroes with the Serpent Gorynych make their way into the palace and carry out reprisals against Kolyvan and Baba Yaga. The latter run away into the dungeon and again call the hares from the casket. The people fled, and the conspirators were captured. Here the heroes return with the Papuans and save the day, while Baba Yaga and Kolyvan manage to escape.
At the end of the film, clones of heroes sail away on a raft with the Papuans.
Characters (edit)
- Prince of Kiev- the prince is greedy, cunning, at the same time cowardly. However, he is capable of a feat and in general, the hero is positive. A common character in all five films.
- Ilya Muromets- the oldest hero. Kind, disinterested, he believes in the fate, signs and power of the "Russian Land". Married to journalist Alyonushka, chronicler and feminist ( "I am not a woman, but a chronicler").
- Alesha Popovich- the youngest hero, stupid, but cheerful and honest. I could not learn to read and write. His first feat ended in failure, but he realized that he needed to improve and not let Russia down and his hometown Rostov. Alyosha has a wife, a young beauty Lyubava, as well as a talking horse Julius, a donkey Moses and uncle Tikhon. In the first part, the Prince invited Alyosha to serve him, but the latter refused.
- Nikitich- the most educated hero. He loves to sleep and believes that sleep gives strength (while he does not wake up until dawn, or rather, until the first touch of the first ray of the sun on his face). As a rule, Dobrynya is not only strong, but also educated, knows a lot and knows how. He is married to the domineering and economic Nastasya.
- Guy Julius Caesar(or simply Julius) - Alyosha Popovich's horse who can speak. Differs in intelligence (while the level of his knowledge is closer to today). Sometimes he carries Alyosha Popovich on him, and sometimes the donkey Moses does it, but Alyosha can make him go with him. One of the funniest fairy tale characters. Its prototypes were Sivka-Burka, the Little Humpbacked Horse and the Donkey from the Shrek tetralogy. Hometown - Novgorod. There he lived at the temple, in which he read many books, and therefore named himself in honor of the "Roman commander and emperor." Then he was hijacked by the gypsies, who later sold him to Tikhon, taking in return a shirt, boots and a sword.
- Baba Yaga- hereditary sorceress in the sixth generation ( "I am Baba Yaga in the sixth generation!"), who knows a lot about ancient dark magic.
- Kolyvan- one of the main villains. He plays lotto well, thanks to which he has many debtors, which he uses for personal gain. Lying, smart, but cowardly, short and fat.
- Becket- Crimean Khan. He's lying that he suffers from multiple sclerosis. Tried to kill Elisha. He also tried to beat Dobrynya with his army, but he defeated his army and took everything that he had.
- Gomuma- a giant gorilla, which had to be defeated by the heroes on the distant shores. Reminds of King Kong.
- The wives of the heroes - Lyubava(Alyosha's wife), Alyonushka(Ilya's wife), Nastasya Filippovna(Dobrynya's wife). And they will enter a burning hut, and nip with a rolling pin.
- Tikhon- uncle (mentor) Alyosha, caring and slightly grumpy. In some cases, resourceful, but cowardly. Loves Alyosha as his child. In the cartoon "Three heroes and the Shamakhan queen" he showed himself resourceful, finding an opportunity for the Prince to escape from the dungeon.
- Grandma- the grandmother of Lyubava. Grumpy, but always takes care of everyone and helps in difficult matters and difficulties.
- Dragon- a three-headed anthropomorphic dragon and the best friend of Dobrynya Nikitich. Suffers from personality disorder. As a result, each head speaks with its own voice, and in speech, all three heads often confuse the singular and plural in speech: "We lost to Kolyvan at cards", etc. If in the epics Dobrynya fought with the Serpent, then in the cartoon Dobrynya trusts the Serpent as himself. The Serpent is also a master of oriental martial arts, since in the fourth part he served as a sacred dragon in China.
- Burushka- the horse of Ilya Muromets. As in the epics, Ilya values him.
- Dobrynya horse- a powerful heavy horse. On it, Dobrynya went on a campaign against Khan Beket in the second film.
- Papuans- natives of small stature. They know how to write, read and speak. They asked the heroes to become their kings and save them from Gomuma.
- Clerk- an assistant to the prince and a pronounced rank-worshiper.
- Rabbits- Baba Yaga's henchmen. They live in a box and are armed with carrot clubs. Some of the main villains of the cartoon. They are afraid of the cow and try to avoid it, starting with a fight in the barn.
- Cow- a minor character. Fell in love with Julia and saved him by butting rabbits.
Box office gross and audience reaction
In total, the picture earned $ 31.5 million. In general, the cartoon received negative reviews and was recognized by viewers as the worst not only from the franchise, but from all the cartoons of the Melnitsa studio, despite a positive assessment from professional critics. So, the cartoon became the best according to the version “ RIMA-2012».
Having collected a record 327 million rubles in the first weekend and taking the first position among film premieres, the cartoon significantly passed into the second, having collected only about 62 million rubles and dropping four positions in the film premieres chart. Ultimately, the last part of the franchise turned out to be the most disastrous of the entire franchise about heroes based on the results of ordinary viewers' reviews on popular and reputable Internet portals.
A series of cartoons about three epic Russian heroes - Alyosha Popovich, Dobryna Nikitich and Ilya Muromets - was conceived by the Melnitsa and STV film companies after the successful film adaptation of the epic about Alyosha Popovich and Tugarin the Snake directed by Konstantin Bronzit in 2004. The commercial success of the trilogy, or rather only the third film about Ilya Muromets and Nightingale the Robber, whose rental in 2008 paid off both the cartoon itself and the losses from the two previous films, spurred the creators of the cartoons to continue the film series about the three heroes and other characters of these stories loved by the audience.

Historical sources "settled" the great trinity in different centuries. The names of the three heroes have become symbols of childhood for many generations of children.
In epics and legends, three heroes - Ilya Muromets, Nikitich and Alesha Popovich often perform various feats together. They save their native land from hordes of enemies, go out to battle with outlandish villains, help out handsome girls in trouble.
Their deeds were reflected not only in the Slavic epic, but also in the stories that for centuries passed from mouth to mouth by the Finns, Altaians, Germans, Scandinavians. Who were these three knights in reality and did they meet with each other?
Ilya Muromets
In 1188, at the Kiev-Pechersk monastery, the monk Elder Elijah, whose memory Orthodox Christians celebrate on January 1. The national hero, crowned with glory and wounded in battles, took monastic vows at a ripe old age. According to another version, the monk Ilya Pechersky died in battle, when in 1204 Prince Rurik brought the Polovtsians to Kiev and destroyed the Lavra.
His relics rest in the Near Caves of the Lavra. In 1988, an interdepartmental commission of the Ministry of Health of the Ukrainian SSR carried out an examination of the remains.
The study showed that in the tomb rests a man by the standards of the 12th century of old age, who suffered many injuries and wounds and died from a striking blow to the heart. A rounded weapon, possibly a spear, pierced his left arm and entered his chest. His right hand remained forever folded for the sign of the cross. Doctors also identified defects in the spine, which make it possible to speak of paralysis of the extremities suffered in adolescence.
So it became clear that the Church preserves the memory of the epic hero, whose image in numerous retellings over many centuries has become vague and indefinite.
Historians know several versions of Ilya's origin. So, for example, that hero could be Ilya Chobotok... He earned this nickname when, in the absence of weapons, he fought off the enemies with a chobot, that is, with a boot. In the Vladimir village of Karacharovo, they not only consider Ilya Muromets to be their fellow countryman, but also a relative. For men from the family Gushchins, possessing extraordinary strength, until the 19th century it was forbidden to participate in amusing fist fights.
According to another version, Ilya came to the service of the Kiev Prince Vladimir from the village of Karachev near the city of Moroviysk in the Chernigov region. And the Germanic epic poems, without going into details, call him simply - Ilya Russian.
This hero is the main character in 15 plots of heroic epics, according to which his biography can be traced. If we proceed from them, then in his youth, Ilya was paralyzed, and later he was healed by kaliks passing by (according to some versions - by Christ and the two apostles). He studied martial arts from Svyatogor, and having entered the service of the Kiev prince, he proved himself to be a victory over Nightingale the robber... It is also known that Ilya Muromets had a difficult relationship with Prince Vladimir, and his son Falconer suffered a tragic fate.
Nikitich
The place of birth of this hero is not exactly known. Some researchers believe that he was born in the second half of the 10th century somewhere in the region of Vladimir-Volynsky. It is quite possible that Nikitich is not his patronymic at all, but a distorted nickname given by the name of the village of Nizkinichi.
It was the voivode Dobrynya, historians believe, who helped Vladimir to ascend the princely throne, bypassing his older brother Yaropolka... By the way, Dobrynya could well have taught Vladimir to achieve by force Rognedy, the daughter of the Polovtsian ruler, who became the bride of Yaropolk.
Vladimir with an army came to Polotsk, captured Rogneda and publicly raped. The prince himself, as the legends describe, was very woman-loving and kept a whole harem in Kiev. To hunt for the only woman (even if she refused to marry him, calling him the son of a slave), in order to humiliate her later, is not in his nature. And Dobrynya was very annoyed by the reminders that his sister Malusha with the prince Svyatoslav was a slave, a housekeeper.
In the epics, Dobrynya Nikitich fights with the Serpent and rescues a whole series of beauties from trouble, including his own wife, Nastasya Mikulishnu... In reality, being appointed by Prince Vladimir as governor in Novgorod, he first installs pagan idols in the city, and then, after the baptism of his nephew, converts his inheritance to Christianity.
Despite religious vacillations, the hero was a competent and skillful ruler, under him Novgorod flourished. Prince Vladimir also owes many strategic government decisions to his uncle and educator. Son of Dobrynya Nikitich, Konstantin, became one of the prominent companions Yaroslav the Wise... The direct descendant of the hero was a saint Varlaam Pechersky, the first abbot of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.
Alesha Popovich
In the epics, Dobrynya Nikitich fought with Ilya Muromets before they became friends. BUT Alesha Popovich wooed Dobrynya's wife when he was on a campaign. In fact, Dobrynya Nikitich lived in the 10th century and served Vladimir Krasno Solnyshko, Ilya Muromets two centuries later labored in the service of Vladimir Monomakh.
And the Rostov brave man Alexander (Olesha) Popovich, who became the prototype of the epic Alyosha Popovich, in his youth fought for Vsevolod the Big Nest, and laid down his head in the battle of Kalka in 1223 in the squad Mstislav the Old, that is, in the XIII century. And the inseparable trinity of heroes, obviously, never existed.
"Someone from Rostov, resident Alexander, verb Popovich, and the servant be his name Rush; Serve more Alexander to the Grand Duke Vsevolod Yuryevich ", - says in the chronicles of the beginning of the XIII century.
The hero was drawn into a political confrontation between the two sons of Prince Vsevolod, Constantine and Yuri, and personally killed some of the latter's best warriors. To avoid revenge, he went to Kiev in the squad of Prince Mstislav the Old.
A warrior from a boyar family, whose father was a priest, is portrayed in epics not as a strong man, but as a cunning one. He is boastful, cunning and dexterous. The chronicles list numerous battles in which Alexander Popovich took part and beat many enemies. One of them, the Polovtsian Khan Tugorkan, entered the epics under the name Tugarina.
Prince Mstislav was happy when such a famous warrior entered his service, who, moreover, brought with him several experienced comrades. The Kiev ruler believed that he could now cope with any enemy. However, in the battle of Kalka, where the Russian regiments, together with the Polovtsy, opposed the Tatars, Mstislav was expected to be defeated and killed.
According to some reports, Alyosha Popovich was the son of the saint Leonty, Bishop of Rostov and Suzdal.
- Ilya Muromets from the city of Murom, wife - Polyanitsa Savishna (horse - Burushka).
- Dobrynya Nikitich from Ryazan, wife - Nastasya (horse - Belyushka).
- Alsha Popovich from the city of Rostov, wife - Elena Petrovna (horse - Guy Julius Caesar).
There is even a modern cartoon about the adventures of three heroes. There is a painting in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
