Even Though Russia Has Banned the Release of “Death of Stalin”, a Moscow Theater Screened It Anyway and Police Then Raided the Theater

For how seriously the Russian government is reacting to Armando Iannucci’s latest work, they sure look like they are part of another Armando Iannucci project about how dumb government censorship can really look.

It just goes to show you that one of comedy/satire’s best weapons is how it often automatically makes fools of those who try to cover it up.
