Anna Karamazoff

Anna Karamazoff (Russian: Анна Карамазофф) is a 1991 Soviet drama film directed by Rustam Khamdamov.

A young man, covered in liquid clay and wearing a women's purse on his belt, shoots at her with an imaginary bow.

Inside, there are three people: two men (Pyotr Mamonov, Alexander Feklistov) and a woman (Svetlana Nemolyaeva), who was pretending to be the child.

Mari tells her how to find her mother's grave: "There lives a Big Black Dog—Kaplan, she will show you the way" (a black German shepherd named Greta, owned by Nadezhda Borisovna Sager, also the dog's trainer in the film, and a double for the heroine in scenes with the dog in the background).

The Big Black Dog Kaplan (Greta) passes by, marking her presence and leading Anna towards the search for her mother's grave.

She chases after him and enters a cinema where a black-and-white film is playing, composed of fragments from Khodjamirov's film Unexpected Joys: the actresses Natasha (Natalya Leble) and Lena (Elena Solovey) collect carpets and learn a legend about a main carpet that has magical powers.

When they buy it, they realize the legend is no longer true, as the main condition had been broken: no innocent blood had been spilled on the carpet in a hundred years.

Persuaded by the filmmaker Prokudin-Gorsky (Emmanuel Vitorgan), the sisters go to the front line, hoping to lay the carpet under one of the innocent victims and revive the belief by spilling her blood.

Together, they decide to kill and rob a rich retired military officer who, based on Anna's remarks, once wrote a denunciation about her.
