Demobbed (Russian: ДМБ, romanized: DMB) is a cult Russian comedy film by Roman Kachanov, showing an absurdist view on the Russian army through the eyes of a conscript. The brutal rituals of Dedovshchina, a major problem within Russian society, is shown not as a tragedy, but as an idyllically insane process of resocialization.

Several stars of Soviet cinema cast in the roles of senior officers; prominent theater director Sergey Artsybashev portrayed the iconic protagonist Dikiy Prapor ("Wild Warrant Officer")

The film's popularity prompted the producers to create four sequels (DMB-2, DMB-3, DMB-4 and DMB-5), but with limited reception.
