Russia, the 18th century. Three students of the navigation school—Alexander Belov, Alyosha Korsak, and Nikita Olenyev—by a twist of fate ended up involved in matters of state importance. So much is at stake: the life, the love, and the honor of the Russian crown.

The friends dreamed of adventures and glory, and now, in reality, they are going to test themselves and play a dangerous game with the great ones of this world—plunging into the depths of palace intrigues and political conspiracies. Whatever trials fate sends them, гардемарини always remain faithful to friendship and follow their main motto: “Life to the Fatherland, honor to no one!” A thrilling plot, full of dangerous adventures and unexpected turns, unfolds against the backdrop of one of the most fascinating eras of Russian history, during the reign of Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great.

In 1988–1992, the novels about the гардемарини were adapted into films by Svetlana Druzhinina and achieved enormous success, and the “Russian musketeers” Dmitry Kharatyan, Sergey Zhigunov, and Vladimir Shevelkov won the general love of viewers.
