About
When German knights invade Russia, Prince Alexander Nevsky must rally his people to resist the formidable force. After the Teutonic soldiers take over an eastern Russian city, Alexander stages his stand at Novgorod, where a major battle is fought on the ice of frozen Lake Chudskoe. While Alexander leads his outnumbered troops, two of their number, Vasili and Gavrilo, begin a contest of bravery to win the hand of a local maiden.

A Tale of Survival and Consequences
Ignat
The rabbit skips into a ravine, but the fox follows him. The rabbit runs into the woods, but the fox stays on his tail. So the rabbit jumps between two birch trees. The fox comes after him and gets stuck! It's twisting and turning but can't get free. What a calamity! The rabbit looks at her severely and says: "Now I will violate your chastity." "No, neighbor, don't put me to such shame! Have pity!" cries the fox. "I have no time for pity," says the rabbit, and violates her!
[''soldiers laugh''; ''laughs with the soldiers'']
