Demobbed (Russian: ДМБ) is a cult Russian comedy film by Roman Kachanov, offering an absurdistic view on the Russian army by the eyes of a conscript. Brutal Dedovshchina, the major problem of the Russian society, is shown not as a tragedy, but as an idylically insane process of resocialization.

Several stars of the Soviet cinema cast in the roles of senior officers; prominent theater director Sergey Artsybashev portrayed the iconic protagonist Dikiy Prapor ("Wild Warrant Officer")

Film's popularity encouraged producers to create four sequels (DMB-2, DMB-3, DMB-4 and ""DMB-5), but with limited reception.

Plot

Three young Russians from very different walks of life involutarily enter the military to escape their past.
