      @@charlesrussell8205These are literally all of the doctors they could find in the Moscow area, because, at least as far as the movie goes, every other doctor has already been rounded up, I think presumably for trying to kill Stalin/giving him subpar medical treatment. That’s why they make a big deal over the fact that the guys they‘ve rounded are retired, really young, old, etc., because they realllly had to scrape the bottom of the barrel with who was left. There’s another great scene right before this where the inner council is worried about what will happen if they choose a bad doctor for Stalin, and Kruschev is just like “well if he recovers that means we found a good doctor, if he doesn’t then we found a bad one but he won’t know that.”

While the purge did not reach the level of mass executions before Stalin died, by the time Stalin suffered his fatal stroke, most of the respectable doctors in and around Moscow had been removed from their jobs, arrested, imprisoned, some executed.

    The man who looks dead/the man made mostly of hair is very suspicious to me. Of all the doctors, he seems to play the biggest role without even saying a word. Was that a smirk on his face when he saw Dr Lukomsky? Why did he have the report before giving it to Dr Lukomsky (who then handed it to the alleged 29-year-old man)?
    Unlike the "old" man and the testicle, the man made mostly of hair appears to be doing nothing more than ducking during Vasily's outrage. All we do know is that he shakes hands with Dr Lukomsky and then gets trucked away.

Viewing this delightful black comedy, I have formed the hypothesis that those all-too-common scenes throughout the Stalinist period, as depicted in 0:18, strongly contributed to the issue.

      Communism and/or Socialism, for all its supposed ideals, so far has proven to be nothing but authoritarian dictatorship that exists to feed itself, using lies and obfuscation and fear to keep itself in power. It's this way in every country that implements it, from Russia to China to Venezuela to North Korea, with varying degrees of evil. Even after reading about it and seeing this movie I never really appreciated how evil the Soviet Union was until these past few weeks (i.e., Feb. 24 to now).

The fact that he's fooling a good portion of Russians into thinking his actions are justified, and that he can wage war against a sovereign state with little resistance from its neighbors (thanks to his nuclear arsenal) is what really drives home the point that even if the Soviet Union was technically disbanded, its cruelty lives on in a group of old farts with tremendous political power.
