White Night (Season 1)

White Night (2015) is a Russian war and crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM. The story runs across two time periods — a wartime operation in 1944 and post-war Leningrad three years later. In 1944, Captain Sergei Tumanov (Sergei Yushkevich) leads a diversion unit back across the front line. Cornered by pursuers, he orders the execution of two German prisoners. No other way out.

By 1947, a Leningrad crimes division is tracking a wave of carefully planned offences. The unit's chief (Alexander Fisenko) realises quickly: whoever is responsible is a trained professional, not a street criminal. The trail points to Tumanov — a former intelligence officer who was supposed to have disappeared. Director Alexander Yakimchuk keeps both timelines taut and strips out the sentiment.
