The sad thing for russian animation was the stalin issued a decree in 1936 that ordered all animation to be made in 'disney'style. Stopmotion stayed forbidden untill 1956, but it took years to reach the same level again that Ptushko had in 1935.
The film is an amazing timedocument, as well as still quite a feast to see.
