Synopsis
"Maryina Grove" (2012) is a Russian historical crime series you can watch online on iFILM. MUR detective Konstantin Troshin comes back from the front a war veteran and immediately loses his badge — a run-in with an NKGB general costs him his position. He takes the only opening left: precinct officer in Maryina Grove, the roughest neighbourhood in postwar Moscow.
Played by Alexander Domogarov, Troshin works through a string of cases — murders in communal apartments, brazen shop raids, small-time swindlers with high-level protection. The neighbourhood starts to trust him not as a cop, but as someone who knows the difference between the law and what's right. Directors Yevgeny Serov and Alexander Khvan treat postwar Moscow itself as a character, down to its manners and its mood.
The show's real draw is the period atmosphere: a city of survivors figuring out what comes after the war. Stream "Maryina Grove" (2012) on iFILM.
