The Book of Masters
Книга Мастеров (English: The Book of Masters) is a 2009 Russian fantasy film produced by the CIS division of The Walt Disney Company and directed by Vadim Sokolovsky.  It was released in Russia on October 29, 2009. The story is based on Russian fairy tales, such as "The Stone Flower" and other stories from The Malachite Casket collection. It is Disney's first film made in Russia.

Russian fairy tale
A Russian fairy tale or folktale (Russian: ска́зка; skazka; plural Russian: ска́зки, romanized: skazki) is a fairy tale in Russian culture.

Various sub-genres of skazka exist.  A volshebnaya skazka [волше́бная ска́зка] (literally "magical tale") is considered a magical tale. Skazki o zhivotnykh are tales about animals and bytovye skazki are tales about household life.

Russian folklore was first collected by scholars and systematically studied in the 19th century. Russian fairy tales and folk tales were cataloged (compiled, grouped, numbered and published) by Alexander Afanasyev in his 1850s Narodnye russkie skazki. Scholars of folklore still refer to his collected texts when citing the number of a skazka plot. An exhaustive analysis of the stories, describing the stages of their plots and the classification of the characters based on their functions, was developed later, in the first half of the 20th century, by Vladimir Propp (1895-1970).

It dates from the last period of his career when he entered government work and was requested by Madame de Maintenon to return to liturgical drama. It is often negatively compared to Racine's 1691 biblical play written for Maintenon, Athalie.
