When a terrible dragon begins demanding a daughter of Kiev every month, even Prince Vladimir cannot protect his own child forever. Carried away to the monster’s distant mountain lair, the princess discovers a surprising secret: the only person the dragon fears is not a famous warrior, but a humble tanner named Nikita.
A classic Russian wonder tale of hidden strength, cleverness, and an unlikely hero, this episode follows the man who would rather work with leather than seek glory—until the children of Kiev come begging for his help.
