The House on Trubnaya (Russian: Дом на Трубной, romanized: Dom na Trubnoy) is a 1928 comedy film directed by Boris Barnet and starring Vera Maretskaya.
One of the tenants, Mr. Golikov (Vladimir Fogel), owner of a hairdressing salon, is looking for a housekeeper who is modest, hard-working and non-union.
Soon the house on Trubnaya receives shocking news that Praskovya Pitunova is elected deputy of the Mossovet by the maids' Trade Union.
Zorich said that the story of the new Cinderella – Paranya Pitunova, was supposed to show how the Leninist slogan "Every cook must learn to govern the state" is interpreted in a distorted way by the philistine laymen.
However Boris Barnet, when starting work on the film immediately commenced with modifying the script; the screenplay faced numerous rewrites by a multitude of authors including Viktor Shklovsky, Nikolai Erdman, Anatoli Marienhof, Vadim Shershenevich.
