Magicians
Synopsis
In a small Russian town, there is a Research Institute for magic. One of the witches, Alyona Sanina, is set to marry a man named Ivan Puhov, who is not a magician. A jealous colleague, Apollon Sataneev, informs her boss, Kira Shemahandskaya, that Sanina is actually going to marry Ivan Kivrin, a man Shemahandskaya herself intends to marry. Enraged, Shemahandskaya, a powerful witch, commands Sanina to forget about her Ivan and marry Sataneev instead. This decision is to be final unless Alyona kisses Puhov before midnight on New Year's Eve. Alyona's friends summon Puhov to help resolve the situation.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
