Demobbed (Russian: ДМБ, translit. DMB) is a cult Russian comedy film by Roman Kachanov, offering an absurdistic view on the Russian army by the eyes of a conscript. The brutal rituals of Dedovshchina, a major problem within Russian society, is shown not as a tragedy, but as an idylically insane process of resocialization.
Several stars of the Soviet cinema cast in the roles of senior officers; prominent theater director portrayed the iconic protagonist Dikiy Prapor ("Wild Warrant Officer")
The film's popularity encouraged the producers to create four sequels (DMB-2, DMB-3, DMB-4 and DMB-5), but with limited reception.
Three young Russians from very different walks of life involutarily enter the military to escape their past.
