Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears (Москва слезам не верит, Moskva slezam ne verit) is a 1980 Soviet dramedy film directed by Vladimir Menshov about the lives of three provincial girls who come to Moscow for work. Katya (Vera Alentova) is a working-class girl who lives in a worker's dorm, but is studying for exams that will get her into university. Her roommate Antonina has fallen in love with a farmer's son, while her other roommate Lyudmilla is much more cynical, scheming to find a professional man that she can entrap in marriage.When Katya is asked by some cousins to housesit their fancy apartment, Lyudmilla hits on a scheme to pass herself and Katya off as a professor's daughters, and thus draw the attention of some eligible bachelors. They host a dinner for some single men, which ends up with Lyudmilla landing Gurin, a handsome young hockey player, while Katya pairs off with Rudolf, a cameraman with Russian state television. Rudolf gets Katya pregnant. He is then called to Katya's factory to film a news segment, and thus finds out that she is pregnant and she lied to him about being an upper-class university student. He then dumps her, and leaves her to have the baby alone. Katya has a daughter she names Alexandra.Time Skip twenty years, and Katya has moved up in the world, and now is manager of the factory where she used to work. However she is still single and lonely, until she finds a completely unexpected romance with Gosha (Alexsey Batalov), a taciturn yet affectionate blue-collar worker (a tool-and-die craftsman). Gosha moves in with Katya and Alexandra, and everyone is happy until Rudolf shows up again, once more bringing misery into Katya's life.Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears is so iconic as a representation of the Russian soul (“russkaya dusha”) that, when Paige's mom wanted to indoctrinate her as a Russian spy on The Americans, they watched this film. Meanwhile, according to Russian Film Hub, the film is so emblematic of the Russian soul that then American President Ronald Reagan watched the movie “at least eight times” before he first met his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev.

The Creon: Gosha talks about how he isn't interested in rising up to a job that will give him more money and power even though he has the chance to, comparing his ethos to the Roman emperor Diocletian deciding to Abdicate the Throne.

Fourth-Date Marriage: Lampshaded by Gosha, who announces his intention to marry Katya despite having known her for "22 hours and 44 minutes". When an astonished Alexandra asks if that isn't a bit sudden, Gosha agrees, saying it's a mistake to rush into marriage. He then says they can wait until Wednesday.

Politically Incorrect Hero
 Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears / int_55232afa
comment
Politically Incorrect Hero: Gosha is pretty sexist, saying straight-up that the man should be head of the household and make more than the woman. He's honest about it, at least. When he finds out that Katya is actually much more successful than he is, a factory boss and city councillor as compared to his blue-collar job, he leaves, although that might be more because she lied to him (though lying is totally okay when he does it, apparently).

Did You Just Have Sex?
 Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears / int_639aa0cd
comment
Did You Just Have Sex?: When Alexandra suddenly comes back home, her mother and Gosha hastily pretend they were watching television, but Alexandra sees right through it immediately – likely because the TV (as TVs of that era were wont to do) didn't actually come on until a few seconds after being turned on, and about a second after the daughter came in.

Cut to Katya and Lyudmilla, dressed up fancy, pretending to be upper-class college students. Later, after she's pregnant, Katya says "There's not going to be any baby", followed immediately by a cut to Katya outside the hospital, carrying her baby.

Vodka Drunkenski: The funny thing is, Gurin is The Teetotaler in 1958, but people keep badgering him to take a drink, like at Katya and Lyudmilla's party or Antonina's wedding reception. Twenty years later, Lyudmilla blames Gurin's alcoholism on all the hockey fans who kept wanting him to drink with them.

Laser-Guided Karma: And the karma is pretty harsh. Lyudmilla's scheming does in fact succeed in landing her Gurin, the charming, sweet hockey player. Fast-forward twenty years, and Gurin has turned into a hopeless alcoholic, while he and Lyudmilla have been divorced for sometime and she is stuck in her same old life as a single working-class woman.

comment
At the dinner party that Katya and Lyudmilla host for eligible bachelors, the older gentleman caller remarks that when you turn forty, you feel like life is just beginning again. Katya and Ludmilla are skeptical. Then Rudolf goes on an enthusiastic spiel about how television is going to change the world and in twenty years there will be no books or theater or movies, only TV. He then offers to get Katya into a studio audience at the television studio. Twenty years later, when Rudolf comes to Katya's home, she makes the exact same remark about life beginning at forty. Rudolf then goes on the same spiel about TV replacing all other art forms within twenty years, and then issues the same invitation to come to the studio, this time to his daughter Alexandra. (There's a little bit of Incest Subtext there, as in 1958, taking Katya to the studio was what Rudolf did to get into her pants.)

No Doubt the Years Have Changed Me: Rudolf re-enters Katya's life when he is once again called to the factory to film her for TV, now as the plant director rather than an ambitious Wrench Wench. He thinks she looks familiar but doesn't realize who she is until someone else calls her by name. When he finally figures it out, a bitter Katya says "Have I changed so much?".
