Peculiarities of the National...

Now the peculiarities of the national hunt are investigated during the winter season.

The men go fishing. Russian men.

On New Year's Eve, several people, including the general, end up in the injury ward under various circumstances. A businessman is brought in with a genital injury and a dislocated jaw, thanks to which a gorgeous booze and a snack appear in the hospital. Injured ladies are invited from the women's department, a Christmas tree is dug up and dressed up on the territory, a policeman appears with a detainee swallowing a medal of the guardian of the law .

A Finn preparing a work on the Russian hunting traditions and customs, comes to Russia to collect materials and is invited to take part in a hunting party. His flamboyant companions include an Army general, with more than a passing resemblance to Aleksander Lebed, a police detective, local forest ranger (a devotee of Zen Buddhism) and some big-city types from St. Petersburg. Inevitably, their good intentions soon give way to endless drinking, visits to local farm girls and much else besides.
