Trivia
The casting started on 1 June 1964. Searching for the protagonist proved to be the most difficult. Leonid Gaidai looked for someone like himself and over 100 actors auditioned, including Oleg Vidov, Vsevolod Abdulov, Vitali Solomin, Evgeny Petrosyan, Sergey Nikonenko, Evgeniy Zharikov, Gennadi Korolkov, Ivan Bortnik, Valeriy Nosik (who appears in the movie in a smaller role), Aleksandr Zbruev and Andrey Mironov was in talks. The art committee recommended Nosik although Leonid Gaidai himself had doubts. After incidentally seeing a picture of Aleksandr Demyanenko, Gaidai left for Leningrad on 11 July for personal talks that proved to be successful. Demyanenko later said, "I realized the film was bound to be a success as soon as I read the script of 'Operatsiya Y'. No films like that were made in the USSR at the time."

Quotes
The Coward (segment Operatsiya Y): Tell us, please, this action... or... to put it better... operation...
The Booby (segment Operatsiya Y): Y. Operation Y.
S.D. Petukhov, Warehouse Director (segment Operatsiya Y): Why Y? Why Y?
The Booby (segment Operatsiya Y): So that no one could guess.
S.D. Petukhov, Warehouse Director (segment Operatsiya Y): Idiot!

Alternate versions
Segment "Obsession" was also edited into and black-and-white short film Operatsiya 'Y' i drugie priklyucheniya Shurika (1965), which was submitted to several film festivals and eventually won a Silver Dragon at Krakow Film Festival.

Shurik :)

Since it is a Soviet movie, it was shown a lot on Azerbaijani TV in the 90s and before the 2000s. My Russian wasn't very good, but because I watched it as a kid, it will always be a good movie for me. Nostalgic.
