Another fanart over one of my favourite Soviet movies! Last year I watched a movie called "Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession" and it was directed by the same person who also created "The Diamond Arm"!

I absolutely loved this movie and one of my faves was Ivan The Terrible, who teleported to the future and tried to adjust in its new surroundings, so go give it a watch if you haven't, it's free to watch on YouTube! 🥹

Favorite soviet movies (and where to find them)

The general opinion about the soviet union varies from person to person, but I think many can agree that the movies that came from this time period were phenomenal. Here are my top favorite movies that I recommend, which also have generally good english subtitles.

Hussar Ballad

A rare musical-comedy gem that I absolutely adore. Shura Azarova, a 17 year old girl joins the army to fight against Napoleon. Plot twist: She's pretending to be a guy and starts falling for a fellow soldier, who she actually engaged to but he has no idea that his new friend is actually a girl (she doesn't like him in the beginning and no wonder lmao). Has a lot of catchy numbers, especially давным давно/ a long time ago/ davnim davno. It may seem a little weird, but watch the first 10 minutes, I guarantee that it will not be a waste of your time.

2. Ivan Vassilvveich changes profession/Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future.

A scientist successfully creates a time-machine but accidentally sends his building's manager and a thief all the way back in time to Ivan IV The Terrible's reign, whilst sending the actual Tsar to the modern decade. Chaos ensues for all.

3. Prisoner of the Caucasus/Shurik's New Adventures/Kidnapping, Caucasian Style (I had no idea this movie had this many translations lol) A kind but naive student named Shurik goes to the Caucasus on vacation where he meets a young woman named Nina, who he ends up accidentally kidnapping (yes, he's that much of a dumbass but he was told that bride kidnapping is a tradition that Nina follows and God forbid that anyone uses this thing called communication). It works out in the end just as chaotically as it started.

4. The Garage A cooperative is planning on buliding a garage for its members except for it now has to be reduced and there won't be enough space for everyone so someone's going to be left out. The comitee ignores said members objections, so someone locks them in for the night leading to them spending the night locked inside the museum which is also the meeting spot. It's actually quite funny, despite the odd description, but I am writing it whilst extremely caffeinated so bear with me here.

5. Unbelievable Adventures of Italians in Russia (Невероятные приключения итальянцев в России). A fantastic comedy. An elderly lady of soviet origin reveals to her grandaughter that there's a treasure buried in Leningrad. However, the wrong people hear about it, so they try to outwit each other in their race to Russia. Pretty funny, especially when the actual treasure hunting commences.

6. The Bremen Town Musicians An animated movie, but nonetheless deserving a mention. The troubadour with his gang of friends made from a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster travel around singing, until he meets a princess but the king doesn't approve of them etc. Pretty standard story, but the singing is amazing, especially Troubadours song "Luch solntsa zolotovo/Луч солнца золотого/ Beam of the Golden Sun" with the translation here sung by Muslim Magomayev who honestly deserves a separate post dedicated because his voice is amazing. The english subtitles are a bit iffy here, but nonethless it's worth a watch as it's only 20 or so minutes long.

7. The Mystery of the Third Planet Also an sci-fi animated movie, but the staple of my childhood. Captain Zelyoniy and Professor Seleznyoviy with his daughter go around various planets collecting new species for the zoo. However, on one of the planets they end up discovering something odd and before they know it, they're right in the middle of a conspiracy and a famous missing captain. Fantastic soundtrack and great animation.

There are many more movies that I'd definitely recommend, so this list will be updated sometime in the future.

Top 5 movies? :)

Me and movies? When do I even watch them...

I have many good memories watching Back to the Future with my friends when we were still in school. In 2015 we got together on October 21 to watch the 2nd movie, that was fun.

Inception was one of the first movies to fascinate me, I still love the multi-layered dream worlds and the brilliant open ending.

Many Ghibli movies, like Howl's Moving Castle or Spirited Away

I also like some very old comedies such as Иван Васильевич меняет профессию (Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession)

#it took me very long to answer this because i'm such a horrible movie watcher haha #thank you for asking! #asks

Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future (1973) Review

Say what you will about the Soviet Union, but they did know how to make good films back then! Some of my favourite films come from then, so here are my thoughts on one of the best comedies of all time in my opinion. To me its a classic, to many of you out there you probably haven’t even heard of it, so let me introduce you to this untapped foreign gem...

Plot: An ordinary Soviet building manager, living in the 20th century, is extremely similar-looking to a Tsar of All Rus' - Ivan IV the Terrible (1530-1584). He would never have known about this, but one day his neighbour created a time machine.

The film presents a culture clash between Russia in the 16th century and the Soviet Union. This clash comes in the form of the Ivan the Terrible lookalike ending up back in time during his doppelganger’s era, whilst Ivan the Terrible himself ends up in modern day (at the time of the film’s release this would have been 70′s Soviet Russia). As one can imagine, farcical situations emerge from the two being unfamiliar with each other's times and social positions, but the jokes themselves don't seem predictable. On the contrary, the whole thing has a huge, infectious sense of fun about it, from the silly opening credits to one of the character’s breaking of the fourth wall, to Ivan’s Slavonic archaisms and his lookalike’s inability to do the same, to the self-consciously reset ending. It feels like everyone involved decided they gave a damn only about making a fun movie, and the fun is infectious. 

This film is popular and remembered amongst Russian audiences because of its many layers. You may enjoy it simply for it’s slapstick comedy, someone else can view it for the great dialogue and language, while yet others can view it as a social commentary. You also get to witness some of the top comedic talents in film of the Soviet era, including Aleksandr Demyanenko, Mikhail Pugovkin, Leonid Kuravlyov, Vladimir Etush, Saveliy Kramarov and the list goes on. To my non-Russian readers (which is probably all of you), these names mean absolutely nothing, but know, that these are some talented folks. An especially huge shout-out to the casting of Yuriy Yakovlev, who totally captures the aggressive and authoritative nature of Ivan the Terrible, but also manages to play a complete opposite weak-type with the lookalike. 

It adds up if you know the Russian language and history, but even if you don't you will still find this film funny and charming because there is always something to take away. And yes, for non-Russian viewers wanting to watch this film, yes, it does mean you have to watch a movie with subtitles on, but heck, if South Korean film Parasite can win Best Picture at the Academy Awards, why can’t you give this one a shot?

Overall score: 9/10

I’ve rewatched “Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession”. It’s a comedy in which the scientist brings Ivan IV to the Moscow in 1960s and two people from that time to the Moscow in XVI sanctuary. It’s quite funny and has a lot of famous quotes. And I like it even more because it’s an opportunity to watch on the costumes from the “Ivan the Terrible” movie (my favourite, you remember?) because MosFilm used them for the second time in that movie.

And you will be cured
