The film "Devochka Maya and
1-e Maia" was released in the USSR in 1937. Based on the
story of the same name by the poet Alexander Vvedenskiy
(1904-1941), the film is marked with stylistic features typical of
both Vvedensky work as a member of the OBERIU and the official
children’s literature of the period.
