Taisiya Vilkova takes a bath(0:24)

A clerk from St. Petersburg, Nikolai Gogol, challenges the mysterious dark Horseman, who brutally deals with girls in the vicinity of the village of Dikanka. Having assembled a team of a local policeman, a drunken doctor, a superstitious blacksmith and a traveling philosopher-exorcist, Gogol tries to lure the villain into a trap, but in his way stands the most terrible creature of evil spirits - Viy, whose one glance can suck out the soul of a mortal. Unexpectedly for himself, Gogol finds out that it is not only mysterious visions that connect him with otherworldly forces.
