Review

Russian film studio film is based on the events of ancient Russia in the period of early Christianity, and the audience should understand that the actions took place somewhere in the territory of modern Russia. However, the exact answer about this film does not. It is known that the East Slavic tribes lived in the pre-Christian period in Belarus, Ukraine and some western tip of modern Russia. It was there that the Gentiles Perun - the main deity. It is there called Slavic names and people had Slavic appearance. And in Russia lived Murom, moksha, Chud and other Finno-Ugric tribes. Slavs with old Russian language went to the east and north-east, along with Christian priests and princes. (in the film says that the priest for a long time getting to the settlement). But in the settlement of the Slavs living, practicing the cult of Perun. So after all, where the event could take place?

The rest of the film does not cause any doubts - entertaining and keeps the audience in suspense. Wonderful cast.
