Some information on the film's production would be nice.--Paleface Jack (talk) 03:24, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The current article claims it was all shot in Alma-Ata, but I recall reading now and then that some parts of Pt 2 were indeed shot in Moscow, which had become safe for movie work by 1944/45. Some of Pt 3 was projected to be shot in the Baltic provinces (Estonia, etc) which had been taken over by the end of the war; those episodes would deal with Ivan's wars with the Swedes in Estonia and Ingria (and near present-day St.Petersburg).

Can we get a citation on the release date? According to imdb, it wasn't released until January 20, 1945. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.86.156 (talk) 22:45, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stalin was five years dead in 1958, so this makes no sense. 2001:569:7BB7:D200:F9CD:9B2A:442A:9AB0 (talk) 19:55, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wheres the evidence for that? "Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, who admired and identified with Ivan." --2A02:8389:2181:A400:D847:6B00:40BC:8CC3 (talk) 23:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
