This scene is entirely written off from the ancient Russian pre-Christian custom. When a distinguished man, widowed or not having time to marry, was dying, a girl was often with him to the grave - “the after-death wife”. When such a ritual is attempted to be recreated in “historical” books and films, usually we get terrible and cruel scenes. Meanwhile, the girl often went to her death voluntarily, causing the envy of her friends and anticipating future bliss in the seventh heaven with a distinguished spouse. Of course, it is now difficult for us to understand this.
