Oh, That Nastya!
1971 film directed by Yuri Pobedonostsev
Oh, That Nastya! (Russian: Ох уж эта Настя!, romanized: Okh, uzh eta Nastya!) is a 1971 Soviet family film directed by Yuri Pobedonostsev.
The film tells about the schoolgirl Nastya, who always invents outlandish stories, as a result of which she quarrels with a teacher, classmates and sister.
Plot
Nastya Ryabinina loves to dream and imagine, but her homeroom teacher Maryana Borisovna, some classmates, and her older sister Sveta believe that she is lying and should stop telling her made-up stories as if they were real. Nastya tells her classmates about her friendship with a black panther, claims that her mother went to a beautiful city called Aeolis (which doesn't appear on any map), and describes her sister’s friend Sasha Zharikov as a pilot who was kidnapped and held captive by aliens.
In reality, Nastya's mother works at "Aeolis," which stands for Experimental Operations in Construction "Lisichka." She believes that her daughter isn’t lying but rather embellishing events with her imagination. Over time, even Maryana Borisovna starts to believe in Nastya’s sincerity, and the class pioneer leader convinces the other students to accept Nastya into the Pioneer organization. Nastya is formally welcomed into the Pioneers during a solemn moment of silence at a monument honoring fallen soldiers.

Why this record matters
“Oh, That Nastya!” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Nastya, film and directed provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4340348. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1971.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
