THE SERIES TAKES PLACE IN 1911
A
graduate of the Institute of Noble Maidens, Sasha Meshcherskaya
(Ukolova) returns to a small provincial town. The well-being of her
family is
based on her relationship with her loving uncle, the owner of
an arms factory, Nikolai Shumilov (Madyanov). Sashenka’s parents -
Prince Ivan Sergeevich 
Meshchersky (Simonov) and Maria Ilyinichna
(Valyushkina) - dream of their daughter’s early marriage, and she
herself dreams of a brilliant career as an 
architect. Wanting to please
her parents, Sasha makes new acquaintances and instantly plunges into a
whirlpool of intrigue, where political interests are at 
stake above
personal passions. Cold-blooded murders and blackmail, intricacies of
conspiracies, daring provocateurs eluding detection - all this 
captivates the enthusiastic schoolgirl, who experiences mortal
melancholy from the paucity of life prospects. Without noticing it, the
heroine becomes an
ideal object for terrorist hypnosis. Stay tuned for more updates from Russia as they are preparing some other period set series as well this year.

Wow. And all she wanted was to be an architect.
ReplyDeleteInstead of cleaning rubble, she is cleaning the world from criminals LOL
DeleteI love Russian period pieces, but I haven't liked their historical whodunits. I found Anna, the Detective dreadfully boring and The Professor that was set in that same milieu, was downright awful. I prefer historical pieces and spy yarns.
ReplyDeleteI do not do detective stories either but people seem to prefer them over the ones we like. I prefer deeper past too, but we usually get late 19th and early 20th century shows. Cheaper to make.
DeleteHave never watched / read a Russian detective story...she looks more like a fashion designer to me..
ReplyDeleteThat was the fashion of that age.
DeleteThat actually sounds like it could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
DeleteIf my future were determined on marrying off Allison, I’d be screwed. She’d run off and follow her passions and leave me in the dust lol
ReplyDeleteNot if you find her a rich Harry Styles :)
DeleteI'd rather her run off than be related to anything resembling a Harry Styles LOL
DeleteHe is terrible, he and that little moron Chalamet.
