Bulldakov's General is a masterpiece of delusional confidence.

Writing

Sharp satire that somehow feels MORE relevant now.

Best for:Friends: Drinking game: sip every time someone takes a bribe.·Rewatch: Catches more political jokes the second time.·Background: Chaotic enough you can look up and still laugh.
Heads up:Language: Colorful Russian profanity throughout.
