The stagnating 70s concealed numerous scandals and chilling crimes in the ostensibly "crime-free" USSR. Featuring unique archival materials, the series creates an experience so authentic that viewers feel transported back in time. The plot moves swiftly and decisively, with murders occurring almost simultaneously before the elaborate cover-up begins to unfold. First, two gruesome murders shake the town, followed by a killer who engages in a deadly game of chess with the investigating detective. The criminal appears to dominate his opponent, nearly bringing him to ruin, thanks to KGB connections and friends in high places. However, justice will prevail. Through intricate setups, the detective risks everything to uncover the killer's true identity. You’ll never guess who it is.
