Whoa, thank you so much for this gift, bud! :D
Honestly, I've almost fell down from my chair as I laughed looking at this XD
Anyway, he turns to be a bit nicer by the time the novel was about its end, but his nickname "Kenéz elvtárs" (meaning Comrade Kenéz) always remained, even they sometimes called him as "Kenéz Úr" (Mr. Kenéz) in some scenes :D

Thank you so much.
I am glad that you found it funny. :-)

Maybe if Kenéz elvtárs is a bit nicer at the end, it is because they wanted to finish the series with a positive feel and message;
like even an old commie can appreciate some of the advantages of the free world! LOL

That may be right, but still, his old collegue and friend (the other old dude in the video I've shown you) calls him "Öreg bolsevik" (Old Bolshevik) throughout the whole period of the series, generally when he was wondering about the commie's attitude for several things of life in the free world :D

In the free world the "Öreg bolsevik" has lost all his power. :D

His hairdo is telling much about his nature - since this bloke has no idea, how to maintain himself, he's not likely to be capable of maintaining entire society. ;)

Saltwater on June 1, 2015, 10:35:00 AM

Alas! We all know the mess people like that have created in the Eastern Block...

About his hairdo:
it looks like small aircraft wings.
Perhaps one day he will fly to the commies' lost paradise! ;-)

TeeJay87 on June 2, 2015, 12:18:28 AM

They just had to expand the mess they already have inside their heads outside their bodies, which resulted in poor economical condition of the former Eastern block between 1980s and early 1990s. Hopefully, their mistakes have been fixed by more competent politicians.

I've seen at least one airplane, which has similar short wings - it's Soviet rip-off of your British Aerospace Harrier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-38 , much worse than original. ;)

And that's not all about the similarities - our "comrade outdated messyhead" needs proper fuel to take off and fly to the Bolshangri-La http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Jet

no problem: he has his "proper" fuel. (proper ==> way to speak LOL)
his brahmin inhaler is in his left pocket, ready to serve. ;-)

nice tie^6

Saltwater on June 1, 2015, 10:26:50 AM

Thanks.
At least the colour of his tie matches his shirt and his suit. :-)
