You know, what I can't get over with this film as a russian speaker is just... how polite they are. I mean, there's a pretty big cultural difference between the UK and Russia when it comes to courtesy. it's just, no one would say 'guns, please, gentlemen'. It'd be 'sidearms, comrades', at most. for anyone of lower rank than these two, it'd just be 'sidearms', almost certainly. it's not like there's no such thing as tone or politeness in russian, but seeing the UK-english forms of it in this context is surreal.

Speaking as an English person, the "please, gentlemen" etc. is absolutely ironic and is taken to be domineering. And it's still that way in modern Britain in organisations. Excessive politeness is, in fact, threatening.

For anyone interested, the General accompanying Brezhnev at 0:14 is General Kirill Moskalenko, the Commanding General of the Moscow Military District who participated in Beria’s arrest. The bald man warming his hands next to Zhukov at 2:38 is Marshal Ivan Konev, the Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Ground Forces who also participated in Beria’s trial. As previously stated, Brezhnev was not present in this event, but it was instead General Pavel Batitsky, who was the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Air Forces and was chosen by Khrushchev to personally shoot Beria, who for some reason is shot by a random soldier possibly for comedic reasons. At 2:54, the two men standing next to Brezhnev, in front of Malenkov, are Nikolai Shvernik, the Chairman of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions, and, as ​​previously theorized by @ludriq7097, possibly Alexei Kosygin, the Minister for Industrial Goods and Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers - both of which participated in Beria’s trial and execution. The general opposite Brezhnev could be Marshal Kliment Voroshilov, the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, who brought about the arrest of Beria.

Brezhnev's role in the post-Stalin early days is pretty complicated. It's unclear from what I've read how big a role he had in reality in Beria's downfall, but he DID join Khrushchev in ousting multiple Stalinist forces in the party (including Malenkov eventually). What's scary is that had Brezhnev and others not stood their ground, Stalin's legacy could have been rehabilitated after Khrushchev's ousting in 1964 (some in the Party wanted it completely restored from what I've been reading). As messy as the Soviet Union was, the world is lucky it didn't take a MUCH worse turn on several occasions.

​@@natemorrow2911 Arguably the USSR's problems were structural, not the work of any particular leader (although Brezhnev was indeed lousy). The Soviet Union was, officially, a federal union of sovereign member states with the right to secede. But for most of its history this sovereign right of states to leave along with Soviet federalism was entirely theoretical. The State was ruled by a small group of men from Moscow and all "members" had to follow their orders. It'd be like all 50 US Governors being forced to follow the orders of the White House. The moment Gorbachev allowed the theoretical to become real and permit the 15 Republics to secede (as was legal under the Soviet constitution) the Union collapsed rapidly. Putin has spoken of this in the run-up to the invasion of Ukraine, describing Lenin's decision to create a federal state as ensuring the Soviet Union would eventually fall. And of course Putin was entirely correct, the seeds of its collapse were sown in the Union Treaty establishing the USSR. Modern China observed this play-out and why it so ruthlessly stamps out any hint of anything other than a single, unitary Chinese state run from the time. Not even federal in theory.

There is indeed a lot of artistic license for expediency's sake and also certain events ever so slightly exaggerated (or in the case of zhukov's medals, actually diminished). The core historical aspects are still there, as in by and large all these events happened but the details are fudged for comedy's sake. As already stated, there will have been certain shots and character inclusions made to be symbolic. It's like the different accents which some people might not catch onto: Stalin is east london, zhukov is a Yorkshireman, Khrushev is American etc like, not only does it portray how vast Russia was and all the different backgrounds but it also kind of mirrors actual British held ideas about the people who have those accents. Stalin as a cockney is basically an old school east london gangster, zhukov is no nonsense and hard as fucking nails, Khrushev is ever the opportunist etc. Lots of additional meanings and symbolism rife in this damned good film.

Or they just figured they already had an actor play him for that scene, so they might as well just use him as a bit of an extra while they're at it. And I think it just works for the movie.

It's important to note here that these earlier scenes aren't explicitly stated to be Brezhnev, I don't even know if the actors are the same but if it is supposed to be Brezhnev they got it right. He was a major general and thus had a different uniform than the marshals, The hat was different, less medals, and the shoulder rank had one small star denoting major general rather than the big stars marshal had.

Excellent movie although I'm thoroughly dissapointed in Brezhnevs eyebrows. They should have been twice as big at least.

Notice how he hands over his Tokarev. He takes the time to grab the barrel/slide and hand it over properly, the guy with him hands his over while still grasping the grip

never recognized Brezhnev until the very end of the movie I didn’t realize he was in the rest of the movie. Makes a lot more sense now

No matter how savage and ruthless they appear to be in this movie......in reality they were a hundred times worse.....

3:19 - This ending was so well coreographed. I think that he wasn't identified until this moment. Leaves a taste of "i'll finish this work, but i'll tell you, this isn't the end."

Fun fact, Beria's actual executioner, Pavel Batisky, had Brezhnev brows.

I didn't even realize he had more scenes in the movie besides the very end lol

Kind of funny considering Brezhnev would go on to do his own coup against Khrushchev.

Marshal Voroshilov wasn't featured in this film. He was one of Stalin's henchmen.

Amazing

NGL, I thought Brezhnev only appeared in the final scene at the theatre

1:53 Beria: I examine article- Brezhnev: Disclose the examine the contents of your fucking stomach Random dude: ehehehehe

That's not what Brezhnev is saying, though.

"Don´t want it going off" is a reference to the TTs unreliable safety

Brezhnev coming from Springburn in Glasgow just tickles me…..folk from Springburn are brilliant craic.

“Wish the old man could have seen this.” 😂

The only reson you don't instantly recognize him is that his cap covers up his magnificent eyebrows!

It's ironic that later on, Kruschev discharged Zukhov =)))

The red army scenes were my favourite!

Beria’s trial was actually fairly extensive and long. Its an interesting read. I loved the movie though.
