Shirli-Myrli (Russian: Ширли-мырли) is a 1995 Russian adventure comedy movie. An unusually large diamond, found in Siberya, is stolen by thief Vasiliy Krolikov. The thief is pursued by both police detective Capt. Piskunov and mafia boss Kozyulski. The events are complicated by the fact that Krolikov is one of identical quadruplet brothers, who one-by-one appear in the story.
