Of course the move isn't a 100% true story. Who cares. It's a blast. To all of the haters who claim the film is anti-Soviet propaganda, they obviously never spent a minute in a communist country during the Cold War. My wife's family escaped from Romania during the height of the Cold War, and everything in this film portraying how Communist counties were during the Col War is accurate. There were long lines just to get a pound of rice. Very few families got meat or fish. The KGB away everywhere and spied on everyone. Neighbors ratted out neighbors. Corruption was rampant. The architecture was cold, dark, and bleak. Of course this movie was a comedy so they makes everything to an extreme, but all in all it was a very accurate portrayal of the U. S. S. R during the Cold War.
