Yasha and Leonid Brezhnev (Armenian: Յաշան և Լեոնիդ Բրեժնևը) is a 2024 absurdist tragicomedy film[2] written and directed by Edgar Baghdasaryan.
[4] It was selected as the Armenian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.
[5] Yasha is an old, retired man who remembers one of the highlights of his career: participating as a delegate of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1976.
However, his future seems repellent when he faces the reality where the USSR dissolved then he tries to hold on to the past.
As part of his ineptitude for the new he imagines political conversations with former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and other prominent communist figures.
