a| Dark and comic gangster film set in Russia of the 1990s. Three loosely defined bandit groups are up against each other, meshing with corrupt policemen and government officials. The film's elliptical plot hinges on the hunt for a briefcase of heroin. The prime players are Sergei (Alexei Panin) and Simon (Dmitry Dyuzhev), a pair of street enforcers for the local crime boss Mikhailych (Nikita Mikhalkov). While Sergei has a hint of brains behind his operating tactics, the truly moronic Simon is adept only with his trigger. Sergei and Simon have to deliver a suitcase full of heroin to Mikhalych or else they will be killed. For all the problems they meet on the way they have a single solution: a shot in the head. Ten years on, times have changed. Mikhalkov's character, no longer a crime boss, works as a security guard. Meanwhile, Sergei and Simon have gone with the flow and moved into politics, complete with an office fronting Red Square.
