Back to the USSR (Finnish: Takaisin Ryssiin) is a 1992 Finnish comedy drama film directed by Jari Halonen and co-written with Jorma Tommila. It is an absurd comedy about Finland's last communist (played by Tommila) and his friendship with a vampire (played by Taisto Reimaluoto) who looks like Vladimir Lenin.[1] The film is loosely based on 1971 novel Vampyyri eli miten Wilhelm Kojac kuoli kovat kaulassa by Jarkko Laine.[1]
