Description
After an unsuccessful crossing of the Romanian border, Ostap Bender again steps onto the stage. Yes, it happened. The Commander is no longer just a swindler—he has been taught by bitter experience and is now a respectable, enterprising “big businessman.” He operates still in the years when the “iron curtain” existed in the USSR and in the times of “great stagnation.” His бурлива energy is directed mainly at, having obtained huge sums of crazy money through large-scale schemes, transferring them to Switzerland. Of course, he manages to pull it off. And then he celebrates his triumph—the triumph of the great schemer.
