Cop in Law
Major Stepan Krucha heads the criminal investigation department of the Bitovsky Department of Internal Affairs. He is the master of his "land".

Shoulder to shoulder with Krucha, his "cubs" - Fedot Komov and Roma Lozovoy - are standing guard over law and order. And let the bandits think that they are cooler than Cool, our heroes are not the ones who can be kept on a leash. They will take any enemy by the throat themselves...
