Red Deer Hunting (Season 1)

Red Deer Hunting (2005) is a Russian crime drama you can stream online on iFILM. Early 1990s Russia: a thriving metallurgical plant in the Siberian city of Akhtarsk is run by seasoned director Vyacheslav Izvolsky. The region is broke, the factory is profitable — and Moscow banks are already calculating how to get their hands on it.

When the plant's Moscow branch director is kidnapped, head of security Denis Cheryaga flies in to sort things out and walks straight into a prolonged war between the factory and the capital bank behind the takeover attempt. Alexander Baluev, Alexei Guskov and Mikhail Ulyanov lead the cast. Based on Yulia Latynina's novel, the series treats 1990s Russian capitalism as what it was — a corporate ecosystem where plant management, prosecutors and organised crime groups were all pulling the same rope.
