Short description
Set in the 16th century, this is a story about Ukraine's Cossack warriors and their campaign to defend their lands from the advancing Polish armies.
What's left behind the scenes
- Hollywood producer Nick Powell, who worked on "Braveheart," served as a consultant on the film.
- Scenes of the storming of the Polish fortress were filmed in the old castle of Kamianets-Podilskyi.
- Since the castle in the town of Dubno was heavily rebuilt in the 18th century and lost its "medieval appearance," the famous Khotyn Castle of the 15th century was used instead.
- Some scenes of the film involved over 1000 extras, 150 horses, and approximately 100 stunt performers.
- The film is based on the story "Taras Bulba" by Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, which is part of the "Mirgorod" cycle. The story was published as part of "Mirgorod" in 1835, and its second, supplemented and revised edition by Gogol was released in 1842, and is published in all modern editions.
- Filming took place in Russia (at the Lenfilm studio), in Ukraine (Khortytsia Island in Zaporizhzhia, Bakhchysarai, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Kyiv, Khotyn, etc.), and in Poland (Warsaw); it began in February 2007 and lasted nine months. The five battle scenes in the film were mainly shot in Kamianets-Podilskyi and Khotyn.
- The film is based on the novella Taras Bulba by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, which is part of the Mirgorod cycle. Within the Mirgorod collection, the novella was first published in 1835; in 1842, a second version, expanded and revised by Gogol, was released, which is the version used in all modern editions.
- One of the film's consultants was Hollywood producer Nick Powell, who worked on the film Braveheart.
