Created by Odessa Film Studios, with scriptwriters Arkady and Georgy Vayner adapting their own novel The Era of Mercy, which was in turn based on real events that took place in the early 1950s.

Runtime:

• Part 3: ~66 minutes

Trivia: The Lyube song “Atas!” is based on this series. That song is in fact how I first heard about this series. Supposedly a lot of lines from this series are still widely quoted by Russophones to this day.

Content warnings for death incl. murder, drug use incl. smoking, and things of that nature. Contains some “intense and disturbing scenes”.
