Ono is a work of profound political and systemic critique rather than a study in demographic representation. It uses grotesque imagery to deconstruct state authority and repetitive institutional tyranny. The film's strength lies in its aggressive subversion of political structures and historical revisionism. It prioritizes systemic commentary over a diverse range of individual character identities. Ultimately, the work serves as a satirical examination of the Russian state, favoring systemic commentary over a broad range of individual character identities.

Official Synopsis
The bureaucratic epos on the dialogues and plots of Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin "The History of a Town". In a metaphorical and grotesque form, the film conveys the history of Russia from the calling of the Varangians until the end of the 20th century. The film traces the change of the “chiefs” of the county town of Glupov, which differ in varying degrees of tyranny and the corresponding total number of “killed” city residents. The heads of the city easily guess the former heads of the Russian state and the USSR.
