Critical response
Film.ru reviewer Valery Kichin called Oleg Fomin's film a really funny and really relevant comedy.
As noted by political consultant Igor Mintusov, it was filmed very talentedly and very well, there are many moments well captured in form. Although the reality is quite adequately shown there, there are few strategic ideas to be seen there.
