Based off Hakim’s recommendation I just watched “Kidnapping, Caucasian style” it was wonderful. Musical numbers, Russian three stooges, and wonderful jokes like an anthropologist getting out of a drunk and disorderly because he studying toasts so it’s an industrial accident not a crime.
It has a mild CW: the kidnapping refers to bride kidnapping but it’s portrayed as criminal and corrupt. Ultimately there’s a happy ending, but thought I’d warn just in case.
under communism no cops, only the societal version of sober sitters who help people avoid mistakes.
