Late sixties. The Soviets had this awesome stuff and all we got in the States was shitty Jimi Hendrix. My life sucks cock.

[slawowycz]

why it's weird ? I don't understand

[leach1527]

how come the Ruskies got quality like this when we had to endure Seaside Special, Black and White Minstrels and The Good Old Days ??

[hebneh]

So the point of this was...?

A strange structure was built. Throughout the project, one woman kept looking at herself in a mirror, in different outfits, holding a shovel.

The structure was completed, then it disappeared.

Again - what??

[peejay1954]

It's cast of Monty Python on acid doing a skit about Workers of the World, UNITE!

[FrozenFourthSeason]

"no description available" is apt.

[TheUpered]

It is not weird!

That's our classics. We adore it. It is both funny and beautiful.

It shows the beauty of life.

[Charlytrippo]

[tsartodd]

[MEATYOKERRable]

It's hardly weird at all.. it's just like any musical you'd see from the same era.

[theonlyantony]

[lsamoa]

I fail to see what was weird about it

[MecanicBionic]

[zencd]

Что за фильм-то?

[thaumasein]

wtf,....i like it!!!!

[TheFabulousAnouska]

This is why we just HAD to escape Soviet Russia. Because if we had to watch any more of this on TV we'd have committed group suicide.

[Lidiy57]

@TheFabulousAnouska В Советской России практически всем жилось плохо, и смотрели то что показывали. И к счастью были прекрасные фильмы, режиссёры и актёры. Сейчас выбор огромный, и наше кино и зарубежное, но смотреть тоже нечего. Только если всё время убегать, мест на земле не хватит. Я вам сочуствую.

[MrAsiansunite]

@Lidiy57 WHAT?!

[MrAntski7]

What were these guys smoking? Did they think this was good? Really!

Kracks me up though

[thaumasein]

[alfiedabomb]

There was a thing linking you to this in The Guide...

[hamellr]

The tune is kind of catchy. But the rest...
