Miss Peasant

Miss Peasant was a 1916 Russian black and white silent full-length feature film under the joint direction and screenwriting of Olga [Preobrazhenskaya (director)|Olga Preobrazhenskaya] and the actor, screenwriter and director Vladimir Gardin. It was based on the novel with the same name by Pushkin from his cycle The [Belkin Tales]. It is a lost film.
The film was the first work of Olga Preobrazhenskaya as a director. As she put it, "the film came out, it was praised, but since it was the first production of a woman director, it was treated with distrust, and on the posters and reviews my name was often written with a male ending or attributed to the production of other directors."
