Most comments seem to be filled with some nostalgia about when the film was released but now one only can say it just drags endlessly. Some scenes could easily be cut, especially the one at the fruit and vegetable market which serves no purpose at all and there are plenty of others so that one only can feel, get on with it!
The one redeeming feature is, that it shows life in the Soviet Union as it was at the beginning of the 1980s. There is a lot of small time corruption to make life bearable and I'm surprised that some of the criticism of the Soviet communist system was left in especially about the shortage of proper supply in shops and how everybody cuts corners for their own gain.
