Lena and Justice
In almost any city in Russia, you can find a square with a bust of Lenin, stuffed bears in reputable mansions, and shops can easily offer a "sanction". Only with justice everything is a little more complicated, but, as you know, it is better to contact the Carpenter with this issue. Lena is an ordinary woman who secretly dreams of a beautiful wedding, but her chosen one by chance lost his passport and now, instead of the registry office, he ends up in the police station with enviable frequency. And it has already become a good tradition that she rescues him, raising the material status of some interested persons. However, Lena is a woman with a strong character and is ready to fight for her happiness, love and justice every day.
