Three from Buttermilk Village (Russian: Трое из Простоквашино, Troye iz Prostokvashino) is a 1978 Soviet animated film based on the children's book Uncle Fyodor, His Dog and His Cat (Дядя Фёдор, Пёс и Кот) by Eduard Uspensky. The film has two sequels, Vacation in Buttermilk Village (Каникулы в Простоквашино) (1980) and Winter in Buttermilk Village (Зима в Простоквашино) (1984).
The main character is a six-year-old boy who is called Uncle Fyodor (voiced by Mariya Vinogradova) because he is very serious. After his parents don't let him keep Matroskin (voiced by Oleg Tabakov), a talking cat, Uncle Fyodor leaves his home. With the dog Sharik (voiced by Lev Durov), the three set up a home in the country, a village called "Buttermilk" (Russian: Простоквашино Prostokvashino, from Russian Простокваша, buttermilk). There, they have many adventures, some involving the local mailman, Pechkin (voiced by Boris Novikov).
The quotation from the movie, "Кто там? / Это я - Почтальон Печкин!" (English: "Who's there? / It's me, Mailman Pechkin") has entered the Russian language as a ubiquitous and universally-recognizable reference and often-used response to the question, "Who's there?"
