A cartoon about socialist architecture, Irony of Fate

Pretty self-explanatory. A prelude to probably the most famous Soviet movie (watched still every year every late December), Irony of Fate.



I will just say from myself that this shows not only socialist architectural designs, but also general socialist mode of thinking.

An episode (some slightly untznius scenes) from the Irony of Fate: two of the characters (who are only 90% drunk) put a wrong friend (of the remaining two, who are 110% drunk) on a plane to Petersburg. He calls a taxi, names his address (in Moscow) and is driven to the same address in Petersburg, to an apartment, to which his keys fit. (Both apartment buildings are brand new and have the same, standard locks which have not been changed yet.) And then the real owner of the apartment arrives…



I can’t resist and post two more clips, when the hero of the movie is discovered by the heroine in her apartment, drunk (yes, I know, such a Russian plot):



… and the heroine’s groom arrives:
