THE SERIES TAKES PLACE IN 1911
A
graduate of the Institute of Noble Maidens, Sasha Meshcherskaya
(Ukolova) returns to a small provincial town. The well-being of her
family is
based on her relationship with her loving uncle, the owner of
an arms factory, Nikolai Shumilov (Madyanov). Sashenka’s parents -
Prince Ivan Sergeevich
Meshchersky (Simonov) and Maria Ilyinichna
(Valyushkina) - dream of their daughter’s early marriage, and she
herself dreams of a brilliant career as an
architect. Wanting to please
her parents, Sasha makes new acquaintances and instantly plunges into a
whirlpool of intrigue, where political interests are at
stake above
personal passions. Cold-blooded murders and blackmail, intricacies of
conspiracies, daring provocateurs eluding detection - all this
captivates the enthusiastic schoolgirl, who experiences mortal
melancholy from the paucity of life prospects. Without noticing it, the
heroine becomes an
ideal object for terrorist hypnosis. Stay tuned for more updates from Russia as they are preparing some other period set series as well this year.
