Soviet animated short by EduardNazarov, released c. 1985. Adapted after the epynomous verse by EduardUspensky. In some strange way it works both as a propaganda piece about the Red Army that straightens up any young fellow and makes a man out of him and at the same time shows how The Army is just as prone to Soviet bureaucracy and ineffectuality as many other departments of state.
Also, it's funny.
Can be watched on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTQfKc80CSo Youtube with English subtitles]].

* RayOfHopeEnding: One for Sidorov Vova entirely as his family is finally forced to leave the training grounds with him still having much to learn. However, the soldiers in the end boast that the army can turn the even lowliest brat into a man, and the cartoon ends with Vova joining the rest of the company on the march, with the Colonel smiling hopefully.

* BadassGrandpa: Sidorov's grandfather appears to be a war veteran given his cap and images of him charging on a horse with a sword in hand. Perhaps a veteran of Red October or World War II given his age.
