 The first six stories, without the introductory and connecting  sequences, were previously released in three separate films (in  1977, 1979 and 1986). The last story, "Ivan and Adrian", was also  released as a separate short film in 1987 under the name "Pomorskaya  Byl". "Eternal Icebergs" and "Frozen Songs" were also released  separately at this time, even though they had been part of previous  films.
