The case is taken on by Ivan Khvatov (Alexander Ustyugov), an experienced police officer with a military background who had been on the verge of retirement. As the investigation unfolds, he discovers that the motive for the murders was a large sum of money obtained from the sale of a farmstead. As he gathers clues the investigation leads him to a respected aristocrat Count Dobuzhinsky who is mired in gambling debts. However, the Count’s sister, Countess Olga (Marina Aleksandrova), refuses to believe that her brother could be a murderer; she launches her own investigation to uncover the truth.

BOTKIN MEDICAL TV MELODRAMA

There are also first images from adventure medical melodrama BOTKIN produced for online cinema Kion. The mid-19th century was an era when technological progress was already in full swing; yet, in St. Petersburg’s hospitals, bloodletting and the use of lead-based compresses remained common medical practices. Progressive physician Sergey Botkin (Yevgeniy Stychkin) employs the most cutting-edge methods, yet, beyond battling fatal diseases, he must also contend with outdated approaches to medical treatment. One day, Botkin discovers a young man named Vanya (Denis Vlasenko) in his office, who claims to have arrived from the future. Thus, a 19th-century medical genius and a modern-day medical student join forces, combining their knowledge and efforts to save people from illness.
