Gangs of Rostov (Season 1)

Gangs of Rostov (2019) is a Russian crime action series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Artur Smolyaninov and Ivan Okhlobystin.

The 1920s. The White Army has retreated south, leaving Rostov-on-Don to the criminals and cutthroats who filled the vacuum. To bring order to the city, the Soviet authorities appoint an unlikely man to head the new criminal investigation unit: Alexey Kozyrev, a career thief who knows the underworld from the inside. He builds his own crew and goes to war with the gangs — using the same logic, the same pressure, and largely the same methods he used before he switched sides.

A period crime show that doesn't romanticize either the law or the criminals, Gangs of Rostov works for viewers who like their 1920s Russia dirty and morally complicated. Stream Gangs of Rostov (2019) online on iFILM.
