Turetsky's Marsh
Screen adaptation of the action-packed detective bestsellers by Friedrich Neznansky, united by one detective hero Turetsky. Turkish - investigator for particularly important cases of the General Prosecutor's Office of Russia. A wide-brimmed hat, secular manners, masculine charm, detective talent - everything is as it should be. However, the gentlemanly set of a "Western" detective does not prevent Turetsky from following the trail in the mud and swamps of Russian roads, which, as you know, lead to the highest offices. Corrupt Russia - a country of financial scams, stock exchange fraud and bloody criminality, is successfully ruled by bankers, deputies and godfathers until Turkish appears. He cannot be tricked, bribed or blackmailed because he is too smart, too independent and too honest. The invulnerable Turkish is simply doing his duty.
