Synopsis

A ferocious satire on Communist bureaucracy.

The proletarian hero Ivan Pri-sypkin possesses all the conventional virtues of a Soviet bureaucrat, being an ignorant vulgarian who loudly protests his loyalty to the common cause, toadies before higher officials, and insists on the proper deference being paid to his exalted station in life.
