The premise is that although Russian people recognize that many aspects of their society are in a poor state ripe for comedy, they are still proud to live in their country, hence the title of the show ("Our Russia").

It is NASHA (our) RUSSIA!Ravshan and Jamshut (Равшан и Джамшут), the most popular characters of the sketch show, are gastarbeiters from Tajikistan.

At the end of most sketches, some factory workers walk in on Dulin and Mikhalych's quarrels and assume they are having sexual intercourse.

Football club "Gazmyas" (Russian: Газмяс, or "Gasmeat") from Omsk plays in the Fourth Division and badly loses every one of their games.

Unlike all other Petersburgians, who are considered very polite and civilized, Ludwig Aristarkhovich is an elderly security guard at an apartment building who plays nasty tricks on the tenants.

Politicians Yuri Venediktovich Pronin (Юрий Венедиктович Пронин) and Victor Kharitonovich Mamonov (Виктор Харитонович Мамонов) live in the fictional city of Nefteskvazhinsk (Нефтескважинск, or Oilderrickcity).

Police officer Gavrilov (Гаврилов) and prostitute Elvira (Эльвира) work on the M5 highway (called "Penza-Kopeisk", Пенза-Копейск) and constantly get into arguments.

Waitress Anastasia Kuznetsova (Анастасия Кузнецова) works in Ivanovo ("a town with almost no men") in a sushi restaurant called "The White Willow".

Major Yegor Sergeevich Dronov (Mikhail Galustyan) and police detective Yermolkina Yelena (Sergei Svetlakov) fight crime in their fictional hometown of Ust-Kuzminsk.

At the beginning of each sketch, Dronov is seen walking out of an interrogation room where he had just brutally beaten people for minor offenses (i.e. using public transportation without buying a ticket).

He justifies his behavior to Yermolkina by citing examples of fictional cops who act the same way in movies, TV shows, and detective novels.

This satirizes the fact that Russian people view their police as being brutal against normal citizens and very lenient against the rich and powerful ones.
