Who is Ivan Vasilievich and why does he change occupation and what is so unusual in the changing occupation thing? You answer these questions if you know that Ivan Vasilievich is Russian Tsar Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible) 1530-1584 and he has to change his occupation because… he accidentally got to Soviet Russia by Time Machine. If Ivan Vasilievich (Ivan the Terrible) liked it here and how to survive in the middle of 16th century even if you are tsar you’ll find out by watching this comedy based on a play by Mikhail Bulgakov.

Ivan Vasilievich changes occupation (Иван Васильевич меняет профессию) was made by upstanding Russian movie director Leonid Gaidai (our regular readers already watched several his movies) in 1973. Composer Aleksandr Zatsepin and lyrics for songs wrote Leonid Derbenev. In this movie we will meet again the same Shurik whom we like from movie “Kidnapping Caucasian Style (Shurik’s New Adventures)” So we highly recommend you to watch the video!
