Description:
A selfish man named Hryapov makes the world a worse place everywhere he goes. For adults.
There is no dialogue, but there is some Russian-language text.
This was one of a number of puppet films that Strautmane began making in 1980. This one was based on a satirical screenplay by Vladimir Golovanov. According to animation historian Georgiy Borodin: "It was assumed that a whole series of films would be made with this character, but this did not happen - even the first film did not come out very well, but turned out rather dry and incoherent."

I have to agree with Georgiy Borodin on this one. The main character spends the whole film being awful, and I was wondering for the whole film when the payoff would come. Then at the end, (spoiler), it just ends with a door falling on him? Uh, what? I really get the sense that by this stage in her career, Strautmane just saw her job as little more than work-for-hire, because I can't see a lot of effort or inspiration from her here, especially compared to some of her earlier films... (not that it's that surprising, because her earlier attempts to do something that inspired her tended to end badly... and also, she had left Soyuzmultfilm on bad terms and was now working at the only alternative studio, and I guess she felt she was on thin ice and trying not to take any artistic risks).
