The Russian super-agent is a strictly secret spy Shura Osechkin, who is SS Standartenfuhrer Olaf Schurenberg, selflessly and impudently conducts subversive activities at Hitler's headquarters. The war is soon over, and it's already clear to everyone, except for the fanatical Fuhrer and the suspicious Mueller. The simple workers of the Reich have long given up on everything, started off into a detachment and recklessly hang out around the clubs. Shurenberg misses the house and grows tomatoes in a secret greenhouse near his house on 007-Strasse.


The next task of the Center falls on him right from the sky - along with a new assistant, charming and sexy radio operator Zina, the dream of every man. With such a war girlfriend, not for long and forget about the war! But the duty is above all: before you return to your homeland and live happily together, the super-agents of Shurenberg and Zina will have to roll one, last and very important operation.

In January of this year it seemed that it was almost impossible to fall below the "Best Film". "Hitler, kaput" successfully proved the opposite. But just around the corner "Best Film 2" - the competition continues.

The underdeveloped Soviet spy Alexander Isaevich Osechkin (Ilya Derevyanko), known in the Reich under the name of Standartenfuhrer Schurenberg, is terribly tormented in Berlin, who live in anticipation of an early end. What only unhappy Schurenberg does not do to calm the rebellious spirit and terrible nostalgia: he drinks the smug supplied to him by the unchanging actor Buldakov, steams himself in a Russian bathhouse, equipped in his house, visits the terribly lecherous parties of the Nazi elite ... And then Zinu is thrown to him by the radio operator in the literal sense of the word) in the form of Anna Semenovich with her fifth size. It seems to be good, but the longing of the soul does not leave. But Schurenberg, in addition to everything else, also has to go to the service, where the only person to whom he feels respect is Hitler's personal "50 Bundeschillings" (Timati), and the rest - if not gay Borman (Yuri Stoyanov), then the pig Müller (Yuri Galtsev), or even the cocaineist Hitler, whom Eva Braun (Ksenia Sobchak) begs to be taken to May at least to Dubai. In general, wherever you throw - everywhere a wedge.

It is clear that there is no need to demand a connected story from this kind of films - nobody thought about it. Everything falls into gags of different duration and degree of vulgarity and varying degrees of talent. And even the traditional question about the goals of the creators do not want to be asked - only the wind knows the answer to it. Here are some Russian critics who saw in this opus some depths: some in the sense of comparing office fascism with German Nazism, others in the sense that "Hitler, kaput" is a self-portrait of the current state of Russian society, called individual liberal intelligentsia, "Putin's Reich". Probably, feeling the last some sort of deep-seated fibers of his soul, Ukrainian filmmakers actively participated in the creation of this opus - in screen Berlin, abundantly hung with swastikas, Lvov always fancies, and a number of scenes were shot at the studio by him. Dovzhenko. But it is better from this "Hitler, kaput" did not.

PS The film has all the prerequisites for audience success.
