Examples of Russian comedy

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Films in the comedy list should certainly include:

(in no particular order)

Brilliantovaia ruka
Kavkazskaia plennitsa
Operatsiia "y"
Osobennosti natsional'noi okhoty or Osobennosti natsional'noi rybalki
Dvenadtsat' stul'ev was already mentioned by another SEELANGer
Ironia sud'by ili s legkim parom
Beregis' avtomobilia
Volga Volga
Osenii marafon
Moskva slezam ne verit
Okno v Parizh
Svad'ba (Lungin)


Among writers, I would suggest adding Iskander to the list for his Sandro iz 
Chegema cycle,  including the story published in the Metropol' almanac, 
"Malen'kii gigant bol'shogo seksa"

Voinovich's play, "Shapka" is a good addition

With best wishes to all,

Ben Rifkin
