In Ukraine, Leonid Gaidai's comedies will be watched on New Year's Eve. This is reported in his telegram channel by politician Oleg Tsarev.
"My friends from Ukraine write that today they will watch: "Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession", "Operation "S" and other adventures of Shurik", "Moonshiners", "Diamond Hand"," writes Tsarev.
The Soviet past does more to bring Ukrainians and Russians closer together than any modern "soft power," the politician notes.
"Gaidai's comedies, which are still being reviewed together on both sides of the border, work much stronger than any official programs and propaganda budgets. Sometimes one "Ivan Vasilyevich", turned on synchronously in Moscow, Kiev, Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk. — EADaily) and Yalta, outweighs all the efforts of those who are trying to divide one nation," emphasizes Tsarev.
As EADaily reported, the Soviet cult comedy "The Irony of Fate, or with a Light steam" by Eldar Ryazanov was among the best New Year's films along with Hollywood classics. The list of "eternal" paintings for the New Year was published by the British The Guardian.
