The road of the heroes-bogatyrs is long. It begins in the Russian lands, stretches through the Polovtsian steppes to Tmutarakan, and then by sea it leads all the way to Tsargrad, where lives Elena the Beautiful. Many hardships await you on the way to her. And it’s still unknown which of the bogatyrs she will go to. This is not a fairy tale, but almost true history—so anything is possible: not only the strength of the bogatyrs is tested, but also the strength of old friendship, the firmness of oaths, and belief in people. Even faith in God will be tested—predictions from the magi who reject the Christian God are too exact, and God himself is silent, only sending new troubles onto the heads of the bogatyrs.
