Wiki.

The Tale of the Priest and of His Workman Balda (Сказка о попе и о работнике его Балде) is a partially lost Soviet animated feature film directed by the husband-and-wife team Mikhail Tsekhanovsky and Vera Tsekhanovskaya and based on the 1830 eponymous fairy-tale in verse by Alexander Pushkin. The score was composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. The only surviving scene (2 1/2 minutes) is called Bazaar (Marketplace). The rest of the film reels were lost in the bombing of the Lenfilm studio during the 1941 Siege of Leningrad.
