Five Brides (Russian: Пять невест, romanized: Pyat nevest) is a 2011 Russian comedy film directed by Karen Oganesyan. Set in the summer of 1945, shortly after the end of World War II, the film follows a group of fighter pilots, Vadik, Lyosha, Garik, Vanya, and Misha, who are struggling with boredom and longing to return to their homes. As their unit is unexpectedly ordered to stay in Germany, their hopes for a swift return are dashed, and the pilots slip into a state of near depression. In a desperate bid to cope, they simulate flights in an old gazebo, indulging in memories of their past lives. Amidst this gloom, news arrives that Lyosha is being assigned to a military factory in Smolensk, prompting Vadik to ask him to marry his girlfriend, Nastya Karpova, using his documents. What begins as a straightforward request soon spirals into an unexpected adventure when Lyosha discovers that almost all his friends want him to bring back brides for them, each handing over their identification and wedding rings. This convoluted plan sets off a chain of comedic misunderstandings and mishaps as Lyosha navigates his new role in a foreign land. Upon his arrival in Smolensk, Lyosha receives a briefing from Major Vykhristyuk on how to interact with the locals, but things quickly go awry. He hitches a ride with Zoya Skvortsova, only to get stuck in the mud, leading to a series of misadventures where Zoya mistakenly believes Lyosha is a German spy and takes him to the local commandant. After narrowly escaping, Lyosha makes his way to Nastya's home, where he is mistaken for Vadik and drawn into a chaotic wedding celebration.
