Short description

Khabarovsk region. Taiga. Pavel Likhovtsev, a senior ranger and bear hunter, keeps an apiary in the taiga and brings up his eldest son Zhenya as a real peasant. However, with the advent of the nineties, the apiary is ruined. Pavel and his family are forced to go to Khabarovsk in search of a better life. At this time, in Khabarovsk, there is a redistribution of spheres of influence - all power and all resources are transferred to the OCG "Obshchak" - a gang that will soon become the largest criminal group in the world.

What's left behind the scenes

At the 29th minute of the 5th episode of the 1st season, the date 06/05/24 is visible on the pager screen. The action takes place in the 1990s. Additionally, the last paging service license in Russia expired in 2023.
At the 52nd minute of the 4th episode of Season 2, Pavel Likhovtsev forces Zhenya to cut off the left hand of the murdered mob boss Arnold, and at the 53rd minute, the severed hand is shown to Tungus. However, at the 16th minute of the 5th episode, Karmazov hands Ilyas a newspaper with a photo of the murdered Arnold, where it is visible that his hand is still intact.
Filming started in May 2023. Locations in Petrozavodsk, Kondopoga, and Sortavala districts were chosen for filming in Karelia. The Karelian expedition lasted more than two months. The region's nature and infrastructure helped recreate the imagery of the Khabarovsk Territory—the setting of this story. In addition to Karelia, Moscow was also chosen as a filming location.
At the 7th minute of the 8th episode of Season 2, in a scene where Crab is talking to Zaval, a bottle of The Irishman whiskey is on the table. The scene takes place in 2001-2002, but this whiskey only began production after 2006.
