Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession

Shurik (Aleksandr Demyanenko), an inventor, switches on his time machine in a Moscow apartment, and a hole opens to the 16th century. It swallows the building manager, Ivan Vasilievich Bunsha (Yuriy Yakovlev), and a burglar, Miloslavsky (Leonid Kuravlyov), while Tsar Ivan the Terrible lands in 1973. Leonid Gaidai sets it moving, and Shurik must get the right men back before anyone at court or in the building notices the swap.
