Khrushchev is pidor

0:06 Random Soviet: F off back to Georgia, Dead Boy!!!

This is a really good movie. Please watch it if you haven't.

Can you ever trust a weak man? ... ICONIC

Brezhnev retired Khrushchev on 500 ruble a month pension with his own dacha, etc, etc, etc.... pension was 62 times than average soviet pension of 8 rubles a month.... equality, egality, fraternity, with the workers....

He was a sadic brutal murderer

Not in Russian, not even an accent. It feels goofy.

Sad, tragic, unhappy nation.

Starmer ! Can you ever trust a weak man ?

Rest in piss you rotten bastard

“…been a… busy old week”

Why do their suits not fit?

Is that guy with the black suit who look down at Nikita Krushchev at 3:38 Leonid Brezhnev?

Hardly a funeral...

Nikita Khrushchev would be pivotal in the de-Stalinization of Russia. His popularity would be severely tarnished in time, though, especially after the Cuban Missile Crisis. The failure of Operation Virtuous Mission and the forced cooporation with America in Operation Snake Eater would prove to be the last straw, and he was ousted from power shortly after.

The US got the Stalins and the Hitlers. And as a rejoinder to the President of Russia, we also got some Cromwells... I'd pay cash money if any of them got into politics...

3:20 - beautiful soundtrack! Composer?

The entire conversation between Khrushchev and Svetlana is incredibly underrated. The entire movie, Svetlana is the one who feels powerful. She’s the one who everyone is trying to appeal to. Here, she’s rendered completely powerless.

Even stalin knew Beria was a monster.

Kruschev did end Stalin's reign of terror. He throttled back Stalin's gulag system releasing hundreds of thousands of prisoners that really did nothing-just association or rumors of association in Stalin's paranoia. (Or the first to stop clapping at a Stalin speech.) He tried making the USSR a little more open and his "we will bury you" comment to the West was his idea to let Soviet advancements and the 'worker's utopia' show the world that his system was the best. However the cracks were already starting in a long era of internal decay and moroseness when complete control is implemented over a population by a few elites. Whatever system, always the same top dogs although I much prefer capitalism and the choices and standard of living it's produced.

Hands down, the best comedy of the decade.

Fast tracks a solid perk.

11:25 😱😱😱😱😱

Honestly, they didn't even need the subtle look from Brezhnev at the end, his eyebrows revealed who he was from the start.

Thing is, after 1953 they did largely end the bloodshed. Soviet citizens weren’t free, and the police state remained, but the purges ended. They may have been out to steal from each other but they didnt kill people for fun or because frightened people didn’t fight back. In the long run that softer system lasted much longer. A version of it remains in Russia and in China today.

Supreme leader Steve Buschemi.

00:06 ''FUCK OFF BACK TO GEORGIA, DEAD BOY."

They need a part two, Cuban Missile Crisis

Ser Simon , you'll be missed

I don't think that was Beria's funeral though? Wasn't that just Khrushchev watching a concert with his wife?

I love how no one in this film, especially Khrushchev, is portrayed as a traditional hero. All their actions, including ousting Beria, are motivated by self-interest. Beria was right about one thing: none of them were actually better than him.

5 seconds into the new Era of Beria being dead…… “I’m worried about Malenkov though.”

The weird thing about this movie is that Steve Buschemi looks more like Beria and the guy playing Beria looks more like Kruschev

He didn’t swindle his way to the top for the power or love of country. It was solely for self preservation. Sound familiar?

Great movie!

Beria understood that USSR and communism does not have future, he wanted to reform whole soviet system.

The death of Stalin closely mirrored the death of Mao. After he died, instead of his deputy like Beria taking the blame, the Chinese government, fed up with the whole ordeal of cultural revolution, blamed his wife Jiang Qing and 3 other people (known as the Gang of Four) for orchestrating the cultural revolution. The heir presumptive (like Malenkov) Huang Guofeng took over for a few years, but was eventually removed in favor of (Khrushchev) Deng Xiaoping who organized liberal reforms

When you kick the one guy everyone hated from the group chat.

“F@(k off back to Georgia dead boy!”

Stalin’s daughter would become a millionaire when she defected to the US and sold her book. She claimed she donated most of her earnings to charity

The use of the Mozart piece is absolutely and utterly perfect.

These scenes play out like scenes from The Sopranos. Makes you think.

Toodaloo! *fire*

Soviet caseoh

Kruschev was no slouch. He was in charge of Ukraine and the army - Ukrainian Front - army of armies - and did well. He was crude and essentially a smart peasant with savviness.
