This is not at all who you are thinking about now.
If you are asked who is the positive hero in the comedy “Prisoner of the Caucasus,” you will answer without hesitation that Shurik. The heroic student saved the beautiful Nina from captivity, defeated the trio of kidnappers and came out unscathed. But if you think about the answer a little longer, you can see that the character of Alexander Demyanenko is not so good.
Arriving in the Caucasus, the young man immediately began to drink alcohol heavily. Then he believed the first people he met and handed his girlfriend over to the kidnappers, without even asking her opinion. And when he realized his mistake, instead of going to the police, he got drunk again, started a drunken brawl, and even ended up in the hospital with a “squirrel.” This was noticed on the Zen channel “Citizen”.
Even the rescue operation that Shurik ultimately carried out is strange to give him credit for. After all, it was not a student who came up with it, but his friend Edik. He got hold of both white coats and sleeping pills, which helped rescue Nina. The smart driver was also able to teach Comrade Saakhov a lesson: he lived in the Caucasus and knew how to properly punish a criminal.
