Шумит, гремит, гуляет Киев.
На свадьбе сына Горобца.
В гостях и брат его, Данило,
С женою Катей. Нет отца.

Noise, rattles, Kiev's feasting.
At the wedding of Horobet's son.
His brother, Danilo, is there
Also his wife Katerina. But her father.

With this wedding starts the story of A Terrible Vengeance (Страшная месть), part of the Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka (Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки) by Gogol. It is a Gothic horror story based on the Cossack folklore. Katerina's father is actually an evil spirit who will kill everyone in the family (his son-in-law, Cossak Danilo, his daughter Katerina after trying several times to seduce her, their little son). Eventually the evil will be killed in turn, by a bogatyr.

An animated adaptation was made at Kievnauchfilm in 1988. Here it is:
