Ivan and the brothers approached Baba Yaga's house. Their father told them to go to Koshchei and either leave the head there, or find a bride, or bring gold to the royal treasury.
For this task, the king was stirred up by a sorcerer, "the "faithful" adviser to the king Miroz. Tsar Andrew obeyed and sent the three of you to Koshchei.
At the same time, neither Ivan nor the brothers knew the way. That's why you went to the magical forest in search of forest creatures who know everything about everyone. You and your brothers have decided to split up. Bypassing the goblins, fairies, mermaids, you went out into a dense impenetrable forest, but in the distance you could see a light, walking towards it you came to a hut on chicken legs. The gloomy forest was frightening and extremely unfriendly, but there was nothing to do.
"Stand with your back to the forest, and your front to me!" Ivan said confidently, expecting any turn of fate.
