Trivia / Ruslan and Ludmila

• Creator Backlash: Pushkin was later rather disappointed with the poem and wished he could have made changes to it. The fact inspired Mikhail Glinka to write the opera with a heavy dose of Adaptation Deviation in the libretto.
• Role Reprise: In the 1972 movie, Prince Vladimir was played by Andrei Abrikosov, the same actor who played him in Ilya Muromets 16 years earlier.
