Synopsis
Syshchik Putilin (2007) is a Russian detective series you can watch online on iFILM. The show is built around Ivan Dmitrievich Putilin, a real St. Petersburg police investigator of the 19th century — someone his contemporaries called the Russian Sherlock before Conan Doyle had written a word.
The structure is that of a memoir: Putilin, now retired, sits down to write his book and reconstructs the most tangled cases from his career. Each episode is its own puzzle — twists, dead ends, and a final answer that almost never goes where you expect. Vladimir Ilyin leads the cast, directed by Sergei Gazarov, with Inga Oboldina and Viktor Rakov alongside.
The series works as an anthology, with self-contained cases set against a meticulously drawn backdrop of 19th-century St. Petersburg. Stream Syshchik Putilin (2007) online on iFILM.
