Forgotten (Season 1)

Forgotten (2011) is a Russian crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM. The year is 1949: former frontline soldier and investigator Sergei Gastev, played by Yevgeny Tsyganov, tries to expose a mutual-aid racket among local officials — and nearly goes to prison for the attempt.

Faced with a system that protects its own, Gastev retreats to a provincial university to teach Roman law and live quietly. A hidden affair with local Komsomol leader Lyudmila Mishina, played by Maria Mashkova, makes that quiet life hard to hold. Based on Anatoly Azolsky's novella, the series is a measured portrait of late-Stalinist Soviet life — where the most dangerous move a man could make was insisting he was right.
