I can't wait for the sequel!

It's sad that so few Soviet Union or modern Russia -related movies have been made recently. Movie makers must be scared of Putin's revenge, there is no other explanation. The country offers a plentiful source of script ideas, yet very few movies dare to touch the subject.
This is even more peculiar considering that Russia is waging a massive cyberwar campaign against the west, yet the west doesn't fight back in any way. Movies like this should be made more to give Russians some food for thought...
This satire is of course not totally accurate historically, and it doesn't have to be, it's a satire! It's not a documentary! However, it's probably much more accurate than brainwashed Russians would think! Putin has been glorifying Stalin a lot lately and many Russians don't consider Stalin as a bad guy anymore. Of course they think that this movie is just "western propaganda" and not true at all.
Quite telling is that the movie has been banned in Russia. What is Putin so afraid of? ;)
Can't wait for the sequel: The Death of Putin (2019)!
