MosGaz. Delo N2: Palach (Season 1)

MosGaz. Case No. 2: The Executioner (2015) is a Russian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — the second entry in director Vyacheslav Nikiforov's Soviet police anthology. Set in Moscow, 1965.

The chief investigator is handed a file that goes back twenty years: a woman who killed during the German occupation is still living freely in the city. During the war she shot over fifteen hundred people — prisoners, partisans, bystanders — concealing her face behind a toy bunny mask. By the following morning she would return to an ordinary life among the same neighbors, completely unremarkable. Andrei Smolyakov, Viktoriya Tolstoganova, and Yuliya Peresild lead the cast.

What makes the case so difficult is that the killer didn't flee after the war — she just stopped. Stream MosGaz. Case No. 2: The Executioner online on iFILM.
