Movie poster by Nikolai Prusakov and Grigory Borisov.
Science fiction was quick to appear on the wide screen. Tales of magic, visions, space travel, ghost stories and creature-features were particularly popular in the early years. Classical works of science fiction were adapted for the screen in Russia. This film no longer survives; all that remains is the poster with the title of the work and its subtitle, promising a “fantastic cinematic novel.”
