After the success of the short films, "The Dog Barbos and the Unusual Cross" and "The Self-Guards" directed by Leonid Gaidai were filled with letters asking to continue the adventures of the cheerful trio, who by that time were already becoming folk heroes - Nikulin, Vitsin, Morgunov became heroes of anecdotes. And this is a sure sign of people's love.
The same position was followed by filmmaking - the success of the comedy trio had to be multiplied. But Gaidai did not have a suitable history.
At this time Gayday acquainted with two writers: Maurice Slobodsky and Yakov Kostyukovsky, who offered the director a screenplay of the film about the student of the ochkarik. These were two film novels, one of which he was to re-educate a certain Dark-eyed type, with a coolness related to his work, not polite with the ladies, etc. In the second story, the student prepares for admission to the institute of the blunt, the only son of loving parents.
Gaidai liked the idea, but there was no place for the trinity required by the audience and the authorities. In addition, two short stories were not enough for a full-length feature film. The writers were given the task of urgently inventing a third novel, in which it was simply necessary to cross a new student's hero with the old ones - Balles, Trus and Byvaly.
After a month of hard work, the novel "Operation Y" was released, in which Vladiku (that is the name of the student in the original scenario), the only "cross-cutting" hero of all three novels, was to expose the plunderers of socialist property, and the second novel - "Spring delusion," in which Vladik falls in love with the exam session in the girl Lida.

The script satisfied the leadership (with some corrections) and from June 1, 1964, the screen test of the actors for the main and episodic roles began.
