The Idiot (ÐÐÐÐТЪ) is a costume drama TV series produced by TV Channel "Russia" in 2003 based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel with the same title. The series was branded by the novel's original pre-1920's orthography title "идÑоÑÑ" (in all caps) instead of the current "идиоÑ" as one will find it on the bookshelves in Russia (to promote the atmosphere of the tsarist time when the film's plot takes place).

This modestly budgeted, made-for-TV romantic comedy became one of the most popular films in the former Soviet Union and a staple of TV broadcasts on New Year's Eve. It's based on the premise that modern apartment complexes look so much alike that one cannot distinguish one city from another. On New Year's Eve, Muscovite Yevgeny Lukashin finally dares to make a marriage proposal to Galya. They plan to celebrate the New Year together quietly, but Lukashin's friends convince him that first he should attend their annual meeting at a bathhouse. The meeting quickly turns into an improvisational bachelor party for Yevgeny. Having consumed large amounts of alcohol, they cannot remember which one of them was supposed to fly to Leningrad to meet his wife. So they put the sleepy Lukashin on a plane. Upon his arrival in the Leningrad airport, Yevgeny gives the taxi driver his Moscow street address and the cab takes him to an apartment complex located on a street with the same name. The building looks very much like his own, so Lukashin, still not quite sober, does not realize that he is in another city...
