In the late 60s, the director Vladimir Motyl received an offer to replace the cinema about the events of the end of the Civil War. The plot is based on historical facts that, in particular, concerned and the provisions of women in the East. One of the scripts of the picture, Valentin Ezhov, conducted meetings with former warriors, which at the beginning of the 20s of the 20th centuries participated in battles with Basmachi gangs in Asia. From the stories of the soldier, it became known that, fearing the Red Army, the bandits left their own harem among the desert.
In these cases, employees of the Red Army took with them women and took to the nearest kishes, thereby saving from death. These stories entered the plot of the film, the discontinuity of the audience flavor the East - mysterious and at the same time cruel. In the picture, Basmach Abdullah throws his wives, fleeing the persecution by the Rakhimov commander. Not wanting to miss the bandit, Rakhimov transmits Harem Krasnoarmeyca Fedor Sukhov, who with young assistant Petrukhu follows with women to the nearest city.
Gulchatay's role was offered actress Irina Pechersnoy, but she refused. As a result, the image of the Eastern Beauty on the screen was embodied by two performers. The first, Tatyana Denisova was a student of the circus column. When most of the scenes were completed, the girl signed a profitable contract for the presentation of its own circus number and left the filming of the film. Then the 17-year-old Tatyana Fedotov, student in the Leningrad Ballet School, was invited to the site of the circuschka.

When the group graduated from the scene, shot in the pavilion, and left Makhachkala, the director of the school released a student without passing exams. Because of the hot weather on the midwives, the performer "Harem" was fainted. To save the situation, the director connected to the work of the soldier of the cavalry regiment, each of which was dressed in a terraja.
