Kashchey the Immortal (Russian: Кащей Бессмертный, romanized: Kashchey bessmertnyy) is a 1945 black and white Soviet fantasy film directed by Aleksandr Rou and produced at Soyuzdetfilm Studios. The story and characters are drawn from Slavic folklore, particularly, evil wizard Kashchey, who is the main antagonist in the movie.[1]

Allegory

Filmed during the Second World War and premiered on Victory Day, it may be interpreted as an allegory of the German invasion of the Soviet Union.[2] "Like a bolt from the blue came Kashchey to Rus, destroyed our houses and livelihood, killed men and kidnapped women by the thousands."[3] But in the end, after many hardships, the Russian people manage to drive the invader out of their homeland.[4]
