He corrupts them and talks them into staying in Paris. The Soviet Union then sends Nina Ivanovna "Ninotchka" Yakushova (Greta Garbo), a special envoy whose goal is to go through with the jewelry sale and bring back the three men. Rigid and stern at first, she slowly becomes seduced by the West and the Count, who falls in love with her.
The three Russians also accommodate themselves to capitalism, but the last joke of the film is that one of them carries a sign protesting that the other two are unfair to him.

However, Buljanoff thinks it would be best for them to live like the common people and go back to their cheaper Hotel Terminus, where the Soviet Russian government had made reservations for them: "We are on an official mission, and we have no right to change the orders of our superiors…I don't want to go to Siberia!" Courageous Kopalski and then Iranoff persuade Buljanoff to change his mind, persuading him that Lenin would approve: "Buljanoff, Comrade, for once in your life, you're in Paris. Don't be a fool," and "Doesn't the prestige of the Bolsheviks mean anything to you? Do you want to live in a hotel where you press for the hot water, and cold water comes? And when you press for the cold water, nothing comes at all. Phooey, Buljanoff."

Having decided to stay in one of the nicest hotels in Paris, they ask where they can lock up their only piece of luggage - a large, double-handled suitcase. The manager informs them that none of the boxes in the hotel's vaults are large enough, but there is a private safe big enough to hold it in the Royal Suite. However, the manager explains: "The apartment may suit your convenience but I doubt that it will fit your convictions." After a short discussion, the three committee members decide they must take the Royal Suite because of its safe - defending and rationalizing their right to have a good time. In the suite, they stash the suitcase in the large vault in the room.

Ninotchka is Greta Garbo's first full comedy, and her penultimate film. It is one of the first American movies which, under cover of humorous light romance, depicts the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin: rigid and gray, all the more so when compared to the free and sunny Parisian society of pre-War days.
