Russian Romance is a comedy of mistaken identities taking place in the year after the fall of the Soviet Union. Ivan Verminitsky has recently received acclaim for the publication of his book The Red Ladder. On a book tour in America, Ivan meets (and drinks copious amounts of vodka with) Russian Literature professor Brad Bradley. When Ivan refuses to go with his wife to schmooze with his rich relatives in Saratoga Springs, the beautiful, crude, and wily Svetlana coerces Brad Bradley to pose as her husband and come with her to extort his rich family into getting them green cards. Hilarity ensues as these two enter into the privileged and dysfunctional world of these New York socialites which has also been invaded by the mysterious Michael who knows some dark secrets from Ivan's past. A romantic idealization of beautiful Russian suffering clashes with the reality of the tumultuous finals years of the USSR police state in this "intellectual's farce."
