Laughed until my sides hurt.

The clip was excellent, congratulation for those who create it.
I’d have fit right in with that group this morning,!! (Had a *moment* at work – in solitude, no vodka, sigh). That was priceless.
what can I say, I enjoyed it, even though I don’t understand a word of Russian!
Oh boy, I re-ran it 7 times feeling amazing joy while looking at this clip, absurd and yet so full of love for common people. A lot of things are only visible to Russians – a migrant taxi driver from Tajikistan who mispronounces the street name (Rubel-shtein for Rubinstein), gets pissed off and swears in his mother tongue; migrant workers called here Gastarbeiter who attack a police officer; a museum guide who gets frustrated with children playing Angry Birds instead of listening to her; using a half of a banana peel as a vodka glass due to the lack thereof, and lots more.
It’s obscene, the song is an imitation of a typical sort of crime-lore, kind of convict songs but the video is a masterpiece. What a bewildering mix of the lowest depths and the specks of highest spirit.
