Kidnapping, Caucasian Style (1966)

In this sequel to Operation Y, Shurik goes on an expedition to the Caucasus to learn about local customs and drinking toasts. The locals refuse to give toasts unless Shurik drinks with them, and on one occasion he is even offered to observe a highly unusual custom—bride-stealing, which turns out not to be staged.

Another beloved Soviet comedy, which gave birth to a meme about the model Soviet woman, who should be “a student, a Komsomol member, and simply beautiful.”
