White Guard officer Sergei
Neratov (Alexander Ustyugov) arrives from Crimea to Constantinople
together with the remnants of Wrangel's defeated army and civilian
refugees. Alone and broken, having lost absolutely 
everything in the
revolution and the Civil War - the army was defeated, his wife and
children died - Neratov becomes the head of the Russian emigration.
In
Constantinople, where the Russian refugees had pinned their hopes for
salvation and freedom, they are met with a cold reception. Sergei
Neratov is a 
principled Russian officer who puts duty and honor above
personal gain. He finds himself in a completely alien world, where
refugees from Russia are
perceived as “second-class” people – outcasts
doomed to poverty and death. But Neratov is able to defend the right of
his compatriots to a decent life. He will be able to protect the Russian
world from tyranny.

Sounds interesting, Dez?
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting topic, lots of those imperial officers came to my country as well running from the commies so we had our share of them too, and now we are swamped by Russians again because we are the only country they can fly to, so they are buying apartments like crazy and raising their prices too. They especially like my city because it is the most European one.
DeleteWell, that probably help the economy there too?
DeleteNot really, nothing can help our economy ruined by our bloodthirsty vicious dictator. He prints money to create false image of stability. Prices have gone up up to 1000%, that is thousand percent, but the salaries have not.
DeleteWhat were they holding in the hands (3rd picture)?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure, but I think it is a set photo, not from the series itself. Judging by the colours in his hand I would say the plastic roll that announces the start of production.
DeleteVai ser uma série até pra conhecer mais da história, Dezmond boa semana abraços.
ReplyDeleteWe do love historia.
DeleteI did not realize you had an influx of Russians moving to Serbia. While I realize that creates a housing shortage, I would think that would help the locals as well with a boost to the economy. Maybe more fancy goods will hit the markets and you won't have to rely on your smugglers for good teas and such if there's more of a demand for it now.
ReplyDeleteWe have an influx of everything, deary, from Asylum seekers and Asians, to Russians and of course an influx of prices. I have read yesterday that EU is planning to turn us into a dumpsterplace for their Asylum seekers that they don't know what to do about. Criminals as well and that vile bitch of our dictator will gladly accept it to save his own fugly skin. We do have Russian markets but they mostly sell just cheap ass goods from our country not from mother Russia. And these that came are mostly from web sector, web designers and such people, so they earn their money abroad doing commissions there. Which means that they don't really pay taxes to us (if they can avoid it). We had a Russian who opened a bakery and winery in my city, but his prices were high so I think he closed it. We are cheap ass beggars, we don't buy expensive stuff, even cheap stuff is expensive to us especially as the supermarkets have raised prices angry that we boycotted them. We will probably explode and burst soon, because we are hungry, poor, deprived and overly molested on a daily basis.
