The beginning of the 20th century. Russian Empire, Azerbaijan.

Production
The filming took place in the Azerbaijani historical and architectural reserve Icheri-Sheher,[3] and in the Qakh District of Azerbaijan (Sumug-gala tower, forest, mountains).[4]
The hand-to-hand combat in the film was originally supposed to be karate, but at the time of the film's release in the early 1980s, the attitude of the Soviet authorities towards this type of martial arts had already become disapproving, and therefore a scene was specially filmed in which San Sanych explains to his students in prison that his fighting technique is borrowed from different styles of wrestling, in particular from the Azerbaijani gulesh.[2]
Polad Bülbüloğlu, Joseph Kobzon, Irina Ponarovskaya, Tsvety, Georgy Garanyan and Vladimir Vinokur took part in the recording of the soundtrack.[5]
