This movie was well-received in Russia, despite the artistic liberties that this movie took with Russian history. Gemini Films, the Russian distributor of this movie, stressed the fact that the story was "not history" but rather, "a fairy tale set against the background of real Russian events" in this movie's Russian marketing campaign so that its Russian audience would not view this movie as a historical movie. As a result, many Russians praised this movie for its art and storytelling and saw it as, "not so much a piece of history, but another Western import to be consumed and enjoyed.
