Young Finn Rajvo studying Russian customs and traditions, persuades his friend Eugene to help him participate in this hunt to get acquainted with its features. They join a purely male company, headed by an army general, and sent to the distant forest cordon, taking with him a few boxes of firewater.
The cordon of waiting eccentric huntsman Kuzmich, meditation enthusiast and Japanese culture.
Instead of the expected hunting Finn faced with continuous drinking bouts and adventures. Fragmentary film can be divided into stories - a case with a bear in the bath, the fireworks, the story of a rural policeman who lost his gun case on the farm, the story of the cow, which is transported in the bomb bay of the modern bomber Tu-22M3 per bottle green dragon, a trip to a police UAZ for exploring the local milkmaids and t. d.
In the bustle of booze and funny incidents hunting itself takes second and even a third plan.
The second storyline - it's Daydreams Finn Rajvo about this Russian hunting. Short episodes of the pre-revolutionary period periodically appear in the film in the form of inserts in basic plot outline. Hunting "historical" is very different from the modern. Its members, in contrast to the mountain-hunters main plot for pleasant conversation, flirting with the ladies and "treat" is still the main thing is not to forget, and extract the beast - a large wolf.



In 1994, director Alexander Rogozhkin starts filming the movie, the script for which he wrote himself. To work on a picture he drew of actors who were already employed in his early works. Alex and Victor Bychkov Buldakov filmed there in the first film Rogozhkina "For the sake of a few lines." Also filming were involved nonprofessional actors. Sergei Gusinsky before filming was busy in some movies Rogozhkina as sound engineer. Redhead milkmaid played Zoe beet and dark-haired - spouse Ville Haapassalo - Saar.



Filming took place in late summer and September 1994. For most of the film was found in nature Protochnoe town and its surroundings. The episode with the cow in the bomb bay was shot at a military airfield "spindle", near the city of the Island. Aristocratic hunting scenes were filmed near the town of Pushkin
During the filming were involved three cows and one bear. One of the cows had to really hang in the bomb bay of the aircraft on the hammock, but none of the animals as a result of the shooting was not affected.



The film is filled with allusions and adaptations of folk oral histories of cases that could happen in reality on this hunt. Beat kit Russian stereotypes: sauna, fire-water, bears. The behavior of the characters of the film and those funny situations in which they find themselves, are easily recognizable in real life. All relationships heroes in grotesque form repeated relationship in a particular social group. Even the selection of the characters seem more certain cut in society - t. N. "Real men" - the general, a police sergeant, a student, a ranger, a businessman, an investigator with the military airfield.
"In Russia, everyone knows that" hunting "and" fishing "- a euphemism quite chaste bachelor outdoors, alibis for men, each of which has something of the general Buldakova and something - from Russian Buddhist Kuzmich."
- Michael Trofimenkov, film critic of the magazine "Kommersant-Vlast»



The film is replete with paradoxes, anecdotal moments that, although impossible in reality, however, in the context of the film, are perceived as credible - Forest rangers Kuzmich the garden rock garden; he is in the garden grows pineapple. Finn Rajvo Kuzmich and communicate in their own language, but understand each other perfectly.
The idea to put the picture of the hunting adventures of Finn in Russia belongs to Michael KIRILYUK, who became the director of the film. Alexander Rogozhkin to which Kyrylyuk made a proposal to film his invented story, not only agreed to become a director of the project, but he wrote the screenplay.



"Actually, I do not think the film comedy", - says Alexander Rogozhkin. - "That is, I wanted to make a comedy by nekomediynym laws. I mean the style of the image. Comedy presupposes an active actor playing in the foreground. The viewer needs to see the facial expressions of the actor, his plastic. And I tried to remove a normal, quiet movie. A couple of popular science in style. And if we talk about the genre of the film - it's a short course unscientific communism. I understand that it is quite absurd thesis that needs to be explained. Firstly, scientific communism, we never had. But always was unscientific. At least at home. When you do not think about their daily bread, you have to drink the sea and no problems - this is the "non-scientific communism».
Despite the fact that the film "Peculiarities of the National Hunt" became the most popular domestic comedy of the 1990s, the heroes of the tape immediately became a popular favorite, and their sentences, especially toasted charismatic General Mikhailovich, became a popular expression, by Alexander Rogozhkin rather skeptical initially for his film.



Actor Viktor Bychkov recalled: "" Peculiarities of the National Hunt "Rogozhkin wanted to destroy. He shot a completely different movie. But there were circumstances, there was a casting, nature, and all lived happy commune that happened just a movie. And as an honest man who has spent public money Rogozhkin said yes, we got poor child, let him someone look ».
