Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Moscow on the Hudson is a 1984 comedy-drama film directed by Paul Mazursky and starring Robin Williams.Vladimir Ivanov is a saxophone player for the Moscow circus. Poor and miserable, he endures the long lines and the police breathing down his neck. His friend, Anatoly, lends him his apartment so Ivanov can be alone with his girlfriend. They will be performing in New York City, and Anatoly wishes to defect. Ivanov is approached by the KGB, who wants him to rat out his friend.During the visit to New York, however, it is Vladimir who ends up seeking asylum. In legal limbo, he can only find low-paying jobs, and has to stay with a family living in the slums. He must learn to cope in this strange land, what it holds in store for him, and whether or not he can achieve The American Dream.

Bilingual Bonus: Many of the characters who speak Russian in this movie are played Russian actors, so much of the spoken Russian is accurately spoken. When Boris, the circus troupe's KGB handler for the trip to the US, is listing off places the circus people aren't allowed to visit in New York, he pronounces Greenwich Village as "Greenwich Ilyich". This is an inside joke for Russian speakers, because the name "Ilyich" was used in the USSR to refer to Vladimir Lenin.

Bang Bang BANG: Vladimir, shaken up after having being mugged, thinks he hears gunshots. It's Fourth Of July firecrackers.

Badass Grandpa: In Russia, Vladimir is a buffer between the KGB and his crazy grandfather, who has a dangerous habit of defiantly shouting anti-Soviet invectives out the window.

Big Applesauce: And the poster art even parodies the famous Saul Steinberg cover for The New Yorker seen on the trope page.
