i'm reading this book called "The Adventures of Strong Vanya" by Otfried Preußler! :]

pretty fun book so far! I really love how it sorta reminds me of fairytales and stories from folklore I'd read as a child. I havent finished the book yet but I already like it a lot haha. Also i love the art on the cover.

Vanya is a fun character too! Love reading about his adventures.

Another fanart over one of my favourite Soviet movies! Last year I watched a movie called "Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession" and it was directed by the same person who also created "The Diamond Arm"!

I absolutely loved this movie and one of my faves was Ivan The Terrible, who teleported to the future and tried to adjust in its new surroundings, so go give it a watch if you haven't, it's free to watch on YouTube! 🥹

LOL! This is what Leo Gaidai’s life-giving humor does!

😂😂😂

P.S. However, I am unfair to Mikhail Bulgakov. In fact, this is a joke from his play "Ivan Vasilyevich".

Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession (1973) dir. Leonid Gaidai

[welldonekhushi]

I watched "The Idiot" (1958) based on Dostoevsky's novels, and after finishing the film, I was absolutely disappointed that the sequel was never made (I want to cry). The casting was WONDERFUL. Yury Yakovlev as Prince Myshkin was so majestic.

I remember him playing as Ivan The Terrible in "Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession" by Leonid Gaidai but it was kind of refreshing for me to see him do a role like this!

And I was feeling so bad for Nastasya Filippovna, only if I got to know what happened next.. it was way too much to handle. Like, damn.

Everything about the movie was spectacular! But I'm so, so sad that there wasn't even a second part. I don't know what made them not work on the sequel, but now these characters have been engrained into me.

This makes me want to read its book instead very soon to know what happens after the scene!
