In ancient times, people and fabulous creatures lived together. Until the White Ghost, a ruthless monster capable of destroying the whole world, came to the Divnozemskoye principality. But only one hero can stop the monster. He is young, strong, handsome, and also drives a bike... His name is Koschey.
In August 2017, on the air of the Radio Mayak radio station, the general director of the Parovoz Animation Studio (ru) by Anton Smetankin said that the studio had begun to create a full-length version, which is originally scheduled to release in 2020, but it was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5][6]
