Operation Y and Other Shurik's Adventures
What they share
Both films are directed by Leonid Gaidai, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Operation Y and Other Shurik's Adventures is
Here's a film that's three times the fun, allegedly. A hapless student finds himself in a series of comic misadventures, from dodging work duty to preventing a staged robbery. It's broad Soviet-era slapstick, for anyone keeping score.
