LatestPoliceman Pavel Kravtsov is a rather strange man. If he has to handcuff someone, he apologizes and asks if he is pressing. He is ambitious but honest; he is young but thoughtful. With such inclinations, you can't really make a career in the city police. So a city man, senior Lieutenant Kravtsov, gets through to the remote village of Anisovka by an ordinary district police officer.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Regional Russian TV of the 2000s specialized in this specific genre: 'kind men in broken systems,' reflecting post-Soviet disillusionment with institutional corruption.
Leonid Yarmolnik was already a major film star; his TV return for this regional dramedy shocked critics and proved Russian audiences craved decency over cynicism.
