Kashchey Bessmertnyi (Russian: Кащей Бессмертный) is a 1994 album by Russian punk group Sektor Gaza consisting mostly of parodies of other performers' songs. Dubbed "punk opera"; it is one of their most well-known records. The album is an interpretation of traditional Russian fairy-tale about Ivan Tsarevich rescuing The Frog Princess from Kashchey the Immortal.
The old tsar orders his three sons to get married, hoping to prevent them from deflowering all the virgins of his kingdom who would otherwise go to him. Each of the sons fires an arrow into the wind; they will go look for brides at places where the arrows landed. While two elder sons find themselves usual girls, Ivan's arrow lands in the swamp where he finds a frog. The frog discloses to him that she is Princess Vasilisa the Beautiful, and he needs to kiss her to turn her back into her human form. After Ivan brings his bride home and kisses her, she is kidnapped by Kashchey. Ivan leaves to search for Vasilisa, and encounters two villains who willingly help him, despite their traditional image:
After finally tracking down Kashchey, Ivan uses Dracula's sword to cut off Kashchey's penis, thus killing him.
