The VDNH Museum of Cinema has opened an exposition dedicated to one of the most popular Soviet directors, Our People. The Universe of Leonid Gaidai’s Characters. Guests not only can appreciate a lot of interesting exhibits absolutely free of charge, but also watch their favorite films on the big screen.

Bootleggers and Absolutely Seriously

On January 3 at 14:00 there will be a screening of one of Gaidai’s favorite short films Bootleggers. Exciting and funny adventures of the Coward, the Fool and the Pro will be ideal for family viewing during the New Year holidays.

And the next session will start at 14:20. The audience will be able to appreciate the movie-almanac Absolutely Seriously, consisting of five stories. How Robinson was Created by Eldar Ryazanov, The Story with Pirozhki by Naum Trakhtenberg, Foreigners by Eduard Zmoyro, Bon Appetit by Vladimir Semakov and Dog Barbos and Unusual Cross by Leonid Gaidai. By the way, it was in the last novel that the legendary trio, performed by Georgy Vitsin, Yuri Nikulin and Yevgeny Morgunov, appeared for the first time.

Operation Y and Shurik’s Other Adventures

On January 4 at 14:00 another masterpiece of Gaidai is waiting for the audience. Charming student Shurik will have to re-educate a towering bully, pass the exam, find love and even stop a serious robbery. Good funny legendary movie, which can be rewatched endlessly.

Strictly Business

On January 5 at 14:00 another wonderful collection of Gaidai’s short films will be screened, this time based on O’Henry’s stories: The Roads We Choose, Makes the Whole World Kin, The Ransom of Red Chief. The audience especially liked the final story about the adventures of hapless kidnappers, who, to their misfortune, chose a young restless Johnny Dorset as a victim.

The Diamond Arm and It Can’t Be!

On January 7 at 14:00 the audience will be able to enjoy one of Gaidai’s main masterpieces — the comedy The Diamond Arm. If for some reason you have not reviewed this good comedy for a while, now is the time.

And at 16:00 the screening of another legendary movie based on the works of Mikhail Zoshchenko starts. Three witty short stories, ridiculing the shortcomings of Soviet society, are still relevant today. The movie still seems incredibly funny and makes you reflect on many things.
