Peculiarities of the National… Collection

A Finn preparing a work on the Russian hunting traditions and customs, comes to Russia to collect materials and is invited to take part in a hunting party. His flamboyant companions include an Army general, with more than a passing resemblance to Aleksander Lebed, a police detective, local forest ranger (a devotee of Zen Buddhism) and some big-city types from St. Petersburg. Inevitably, their good intentions soon give way to endless drinking, visits to local farm girls and much else besides.

A comedy about a New Year Eve celebration in one very funny hospital.

General Ivolgin, forester Kuzmich, and good-natured Lyova lose their way on a fishing trip and wind up in a neighboring country, where they decide to have a good time anyway but end up leaving their vodka and fishing equipment behind.

Now the peculiarities of the national hunt are investigated during the winter season.

General Ivolgin, forester Kuzmich, and good-natured Lyova now are going into politics.

At this comedy - the fifth in the "Peculiarities of the National..." series - national fishing is going on ice.
