A chance to see an Estonian film in Finland is almost non-existing, because theyare not so widely distributed in the international market. But I waslucky to see Minu Leninid, when it was shown on Finnish television in the 90s. I taped the film so I also have that great privilege to see itover and over again.

Minu Leninid is a great historical parody of a man (Alexander Kesüla) who starts to train doppelgangers for Lenin. But his truly intentions are to force aside the true Lenin, because the true Lenin is unwilling to declare the independence of Estonia. But if one of his doppelgangers would take the place of the true Lenin, so then Kesküla would have the whole Soviet Union in his hands.

The film is spoken mainly in Russian and German...and English, but some lines of Estonian can also be heard in the beginning of the film and the in the end of the film. That's good, because I've always loved multilingual films.

If you've seen this film you should also see Tulivesi from the same director (Hardi Volmer),although it might be find.

I saw this movie a couple times and I enjoyed very much both times. But you have to know history about Soviet Revolution to get it. This parody is pretty intelligent and really funny! Laughs from start to end. Most interesting about this movie is its story, which starts claiming world power to small country named Estonia !! But still main line is on Lenin or should we say All Lenin's. I recommend watching it for its laughs and new views of history. My points: ***** excellent movie.

I was surprised to see the movie here, in IMDb. It is very famous here, in Estonia, but I didn't think it's also known in other coutries. Well... it's a big achievement for estonians - the movie. Anyway Hardi Volmer is one of our greatest moviemakers in Estonia. I really like his work. There are some special effects and lots of good humor in it. I really recommend it to all. 9/10
