The Death Of Stalin.The actor said in a new interview that Putin’s briefings could be outtakes from Armando Iannucci’s satire on Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union leader’s legacy.“The Death of Stalin is so prescient; some scenes could be directly ripped from the news,” he said in a fan Q&A published by The Guardian.“Putin’s press conference where he lined up all of his cabinet members could have been a monstrously less funny outtake. I find it terrifying that one of the best hopes is that somebody in Putin’s circle will reach across that 300-foot table and put an end to this.
It would take someone of Zhukov’s stature, with balls the size of Kremlin domes.”Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as ordered by Putin, continues to dominate the news agenda after starting six weeks ago.Isaacs added that he “clearly had the best lines” as the Soviet general Georgy Zhukov in the film. “All actors have an infinite, bottomless pit of need for flattery.
