Nakhalovka

18+ The young and inexperienced investigator Svetlana Drozдова works on a case involving the murder of two “random drug dealers.” One of the “threads” leads the city detective to a small backwater settlement—“Nahalovka,” where there isn’t even a proper police station, and the only representative of the law is an elderly local officer Mitrofanych—though with an enormous head full of cockroaches. With Svetlana’s arrival, the quiet sleepy swamp where nothing ever happened is suddenly swept over by a wave of inexplicable murders that, at first glance, have no connection to each other or to the investigation assigned to her. Management decides to temporarily leave Svetlana in Nahalovka, with the task of helping the crazy local officer. For a pampered city resident who has only seen modern Russian backwater life on TV, this is a huge shock—from street toilets to the absence of even basic Internet and normal mobile communications. But somehow, Svetlana starts “digging”…

Meet the new nonstandard experimental transmigrant: while everyone else massively “rushes” to the USSR, this one jumps from there into our time! Having died in a bloody showdown over the gang’s common stash, the authority figure of the “old formation” is reborn in the body of some wretched rural drug addict. And after that, a wave of violence and corpses floods the small provincial settlement… But who is to blame—big question! You’ll be in for a wild, cruel, dramatic crime story in the spirit of the TV series “Fargo,” only set in the Russian backwoods. With an inconvenient, complex, and contradictory main character—who is, after all, a very specific bad guy… But—read it and you’ll find out for yourself).
