A life-size copy of a Siberian Cossack village was constructed near Narva, Estonia for the production. The village had a church, a restaurant, a horse-farm and several streets with homes. Actors were living Cossack-style in the village during the filming in 1970. In the fall of 1970 the leading actors and crew went to Siberia, for filming in the Siberian province of Dauria, east of lake Baikal.
