The Rings of Power or the Seventh Ring of a Witch	comment	The Rings of Power or the Seventh Ring of a Witch is a low-budget miniseries of Russian/Ukrainian joint production, made in 1998. It is a rather loose adaptation of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even though J. R. R. Tolkien's name is not mentioned in the credits and most of the plot and characters got profoundly re-imagined, the general premise and plotline are fairly recognizable.The major antagonists of the story are evil king Karbis and his witch of a wife Kora. Together they rule with an iron fist over the peaceful villagers of Emerald Valley, and, at the same time, dream of conquering six neighboring kingdoms. Kora goes after advise to Shelob- a giant spider, who lives in caves under Karbis’ castle and feeds on prisoners. Shelob gives Kora a piece of magic metal, and tells her to make six rings out it, using magma pool in the mouth of a Pagan statue, which Karbis’ army worships, as the stove. If a person puts on a ring and makes a wish it will immediately be fulfilled, but the wisher will become the eternal slave of Karbis and Kora. The six rings, therefore, should be given to the kings of six neighboring kingdoms. Shelob warns Kora that if at least one ring returns to the place of its creation- the statue’s lava-filled mouth- both evil rulers and their kingdom shall perish.In order to create the rings Karbis’ soldiers forcefully bring blacksmith Ostap to the castle along with his sleazy assistant Bosargun. Kora orders him to make seven rings instead of six in order to test their effect. When work is done Bosargun is given the seventh ring, which he uses to brainwash Ostap into agreeing to marry off his daughter Olesya to him. Bosargun, as expected, becomes a complete slave of the ring and Karbis.Karbis announces a ball, where six kings are summoned. He and Kora trick the kings into putting on rings and making wishes, except for wise and noble Aguil- the ruler of the Tribe of Eagles, whose members are able to transform into these birds. Ostap, meanwhile, manages to break from the spell and steal Bosargun’s ring. Karbis’ army begins a large-scale hunt after the ring and whoever carries it. Ostap, his young son Vasilko, Olesya and her boyfriend Orest now have to figure out how to destroy the ring and rid the world of Karbis and Kora. Not helping the case is Bosargun, who is now murderously obsessed with getting the ring back.

The kings enslaved by the rings appear to be Turkish, Georgian, Polish, Austrian-Hungarian and, probably, Italian.

The Rings of Power or the Seventh Ring of a Witch / int_e5421161	type	Expy
The Rings of Power or the Seventh Ring of a Witch / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: All the characters in the series have counterparts in Tolkien’s novels. Some serve as composite characters. The only one who retained her old name is Shelob, but now she can speak and serves as an advisor/pet monster to Kora. Karbis is an obvious one of Sauron. Kora is female Saruman. Orest is Frodo Baggins. Ostap is Bilbo Baggins, as it is he who steals the ring from Bosargun/Gollum. Also, Orest calls him “uncle”. Bosargun is Gollum. Vasilko is Sam with some elements of Pippin. Olesya is female Merry to Vasilko’s Pippin. King Aguil combines the elements of Gandalf, Elrond and Theoden. Eaglet is Aragorn. Galat is Grima Wormtongue and, partly, Saruman. Imeda is Arwen and Eowyn. Atil is the Witch King. The Fairy is Galadriel with elements of Tom Bombadil. The Dwarf may be Gimli’s expy, but plot-wise he is much closer to Gandalf. Nameless innkeeper is Barliman Butterbur. The Nazgûl have two groups of expies. One is the five kings who fall under the influence of the rings. Another one is the squadron of “black horsemen”, led by Atil, who hunt after the seventh ring. The Realm of Karbis is Mordor. The villagers of Emerald Valley are expies of the hobbits. The Tribe of Eagles is Gondor with some events of the Elves, as well as, obviously, the eagles.
