Description

Ivanushka the Fool—a hero of Russian fairy tales—also appears in our days. Many such stories arise in society at turning points, when it’s necessary to survive in new, unfamiliar conditions. It’s especially hard for a person if that time coincides with their coming-of-age period. Admitting that life isn’t a game and not a fairy tale is quite difficult. How can you tell who on your path is “Bury Wolf,” who is “the Frog Princess,” who is “Baba Yaga,” and who is “Koshchei the Deathless”? Who can you trust, and who can you not? Ivan Tupitsyn is a young paramedic from an ambulance service who, against his will, becomes a secret police operative and, risking his life, uncovers the drug mafia organized at one of the Moscow ambulance substations.
