|An adaptation of the French historical fiction graphic novel of the same name. Although largely a satirical black comedy, the movie nonetheless accurately shows the horrific events of the Soviet Union under Stalin's totalitarian rule and the events after his death, as well as the innately cowardly and treacherous nature of the Soviet Politburo (see [[Atheism and cowardice]] as well as [[Atheism and Mass Murder]]). It also is one of the few films to [[Allusion|allude]] to the anti-Semitic [[Doctor's plot]] that Stalin had orchestrated prior to his death (which had ironically been precipitated due to the doctor's plot killing off all the best doctors in Moscow at the time), making clear that, contrary to what the left claims, the USSR and the left adhered to anti-Semitism. The director of the film, Armando Iannucci, admits that a large part of the reason he made the film was partly because of how Stalin was still revered in Russia to the extent that the Russian hotel he stayed at had a portrait of Stalin up, while pointing out that no one would dare do the same regarding Hitler in similar situations.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/features/armando-iannucci-death-of-stalin-trumps-funeral-w517602</ref> As if reinforcing this, the movie also ended up banned in Russia at the order of [[Vladimir Putin]].
