In the Kremlin, no one can hear you scheme

When dictator Joseph Stalin dies, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains — just who is running the government?

An interesting, but somewhat worrying docudrama look at the United Kingdom if Comrade Corbyn ever came to power.
