The Death of Stalin.

I've heard it's quite good, haven't gotten around to watching it myself yet.

I recommend the movie; it's essentially a loosely historical commentary on the political situation in the Soviet Union, at the time of Stalin's death.

It's fairly comedic and definitely worth watching.

It, unlike this post, is very good. It’s by the guy who made Veep and it’s unbelievable yet disturbingly true to life.

Fun fact: they toned down the medals for this character because it seemed too absurd.

Does he just take one off his chest when he gives medals to soldiers?

No, he actually steals one from them and absorbs its power.
