Yuz, Jazz, Irka and the Dog
In Soviet times, the songs "Soviet Easter", "Cigarette Butt", "Comrade Stalin" were sung by the whole country (and, according to rumors, members of the politburo also enjoyed it), but few people knew that these "folk" hits had an author – Yuz Aleshkovsky. Having traveled from East to West, he became a famous writer in a country that is still considered the most reading. The concepts of Freedom and Creativity for him are not so much philosophical categories, but a credo of life. The genre of Sergei Miroshnichenko's new film can be defined as "a lyrical post-Soviet comedy with a dramatic touch."
