For English-speaking users: it was taken from the "Kidnapping, Caucasian Style" Soviet comedy film (1967) dealing with a humorous plot revolving around bride kidnapping, an old tradition that used to exist in certain regions of the Northern Caucasus. The film was directed by Leonid Gaidai. It is the last film featuring the trio of the "Coward" (Georgy Vitsin), the "Fool" (Yuri Nikulin), and the "Pro" (Yevgeny Morgunov), a group of bumbling antiheroes similar in some ways to the Three Stooges. Shurik (blonde in the picture) is a hero, known from earlier Gaidai films.
