Invisible pour ceux qui l'entourent, un réalisateur contemporain se retrouve comme par magie dans le musée de l'Ermitage à Saint-Pétersbourg au début du XVIIIe siècle. Il y rencontre un cynique diplomate français du XIXe siècle. Les deux hommes deviennent complices au cours d'un extraordinaire voyage dans le temps, à travers le turbulent passé de la Russie, qui les conduit jusqu'à nos jours.

Les troupes russes occupent Paris. La Russie est devenue la première puissance mondiale. Maintenant tout semble possible. Les jeunes lauréats, officiers des gardes, sont convaincus que l'égalité et la liberté viendront - ici et maintenant. Pour cela, ils sont prêts à tout sacrifier - position, richesse, amour, vie ... et le pays lui-même.

The main characters are ordinary 30-year-old men who live in an ordinary Russian village, where it is always bad to work, where there is always no money, where they drive moonshine, for which they pay with food or firewood. They did not study at institutes, do not speak foreign languages, do not understand politics and consider the words “Internet” and “glamor” as curses. For such words, they can give in the face. They see life mainly on the TV screen. Yes and that - black and white.

Young Chechnya war veteran alienates himself from his friends and family because of his burned face. When he has to help find his war-time friend, he manages to get back to life again.

Is secret cooperation with the government a respectable thing?.. This is the question Nikolay should answer for himself.

In this TV-series the events of the beginning of the 20th century in Russia are highlighted. Revolutioners, terrorists, spies - and investigator Putilovskii and his team fight them as best they can.

In the center of the plot is a senior investigator named Masha Shvetsova and her male colleagues. The plot is the most vital, but, like in “Streets of Broken Lanterns,” it is seasoned with a fair amount of humor - otherwise, how can the audience (and the heroes) endure countless morgues, identifications and other “cute” charms of the investigative routine?
