Stepan's Remembrance (Russian: Степанова памятка, romanized: Stepanova pamyatka) is a 1977 Soviet children's film directed by Konstantin Yershov.

[2] The film director Konstantin Yershov wanted to change the traditional approach to the fairy tales adaptations.

A skilled miner Stepan meets the green-eyed Mistress of the Copper Mountain, the Malachite Lady.

She promises to solve his troubles with the bailiff and rewards him with a present for his bride, a malachite casket filled with jewellery.

After Stepan's death, a young noble man Vasily Turchaninov, the owner of the mines' son, falls in love with Tanyushka.

Tanyushka claims that she is unsure of his feelings and announces that she will agree to the marriage if he shows her the malachite room at the imperial palace.

After Vasily leaves, Tanyushka confesses to her mother that she actually likes the man, but she feels that his love will not last and therefore hides behind her pride.

G. Yermakova praised the protagonist's significant spiritual growth and the acting of Gennady Yegorov, noting that such a remarkable performance is true success for any young actor: "He portrayed Stepan with the captivating sincerity, having created the image of the remarkable and talented person".

She also stated that "The greatest luck of the film is the poetic [...] embodiment of huge and tragic love between Stepan and the Mistress of the Copper Mountain".
