    • Trivia
      The casting started on 1 June 1964. Searching for the protagonist proved to be the most difficult. Leonid Gaidai looked for someone like himself and over 100 actors auditioned, including Oleg Vidov, Vsevolod Abdulov, Vitali Solomin, Evgeny Petrosyan, Sergey Nikonenko, Evgeniy Zharikov, Gennadi Korolkov, Ivan Bortnik, Valeriy Nosik (who appears in the movie in a smaller role), Aleksandr Zbruev and Andrey Mironov was in talks. The art committee recommended Nosik although Leonid Gaidai himself had doubts. After incidentally seeing a picture of Aleksandr Demyanenko, Gaidai left for Leningrad on 11 July for personal talks that proved to be successful. Demyanenko later said, "I realized the film was bound to be a success as soon as I read the script of 'Operatsiya Y'. No films like that were made in the USSR at the time."

      Fedya (segment "Naparnik"): So you can see... Not for long now!

    • Alternate versions
      Segment "Obsession" was also edited into and black-and-white short film Operation 'Y' & Other Shurik's Adventures (1965), which was submitted to several film festivals and eventually won a Silver Dragon at Krakow Film Festival.

    Naive old comedy
    This naive old comedy is a landmark of Russian cinema. The humor is mostly Charlie Chaplin style (cake in the face etc.), however many verbal jokes from this comedy have made it into everyday language. There are three novels in this movie: one about a convict doing community service hand by hand with a student with orthogonal morale, another about college students cheating, and the last one about a trio of junks (the famous Russian comedians Nikulin, Vitsin, and Morgunov) staging a burglary to cover the real one.

    I would like to invite visitors to see pictures from the movie and watch a detailed trailer at RussArt.com. Those who read Russian can find more materials useful: reviews, actor biographies, articles, etc.
