Taras Bulba (Russian: Тарас Бульба) is a historical drama film, based on the novel Taras Bulba by Nikolai Gogol. The movie was filmed on different locations in Ukraine such as Zaporizhia, Khotyn and Kamianets-Podilsky as well as in Poland. The official release was rescheduled several times; at first for the spring of 2008 but was finally released on April 2, 2009,[2][3][4] to coincide with Gogol's bicentennial.[5] The author's edition of 1842, expanded and rewritten, and considered more pro-Russian,[6] was used for the film (this also being the text that is familiar to most readers).
