Plot of the series Playing with Fire (TV series 2017):
The series is set in 1979, during the so-called Brezhnev stagnation. The series' protagonist, former orphan Nikolai Semenov, works as a master technologist at a local sewing factory. Like most ordinary Soviet families, Nikolai's family lived modestly from paycheck to paycheck, while continuing to believe in the imminent victory of communism.
It is unknown what bright future would have awaited Semenov if one day his seven-year-old son had not fallen ill. He had a rare disease, and free Soviet medicine was powerless against this illness. In the hospital, Nikolai learns that the only chance for salvation is to send his son to America for treatment, but this chance was very illusory, since Soviet citizens were prohibited from free movement around the world.
And even if, by some miracle, Nikolai managed to reach the shores of America, where would he get the money, since several hundred thousand dollars would be needed for treatment, which is almost a million in rubles? However, fate soon throws Mikhail an answer to this question. Just a few days ago, when Nikolai did not yet know about his son's illness, his army comrade Igor Eremin, who now worked in the OBKhSS, approached him.

Together with his colleagues, Igor earned a factory director who had opened an underground production of a scarce product at the enterprise, and he asked Igor to help expose the "workshop manager". So Igor came up with the brilliant idea of becoming a "workshop manager" himself. He knew the production well, and recently submitted a rationalization proposal for waste to the factory director.
True, the director rejected this proposal, but now Semenov knew how he would use this waste. Considering that there was a chronic shortage of quality clothing in the USSR, the business promised good profit, but to do this it was necessary to enlist the support of the right people from the criminal world. And this meant that it was necessary to share part of the profit with them.
Да и советский закон был очень суров по отношению к таким делам и за незаконное предпринимательство человеку грозил расстрел.Игорь, конечно же, понимал, что его затея это игра с огнем, однако на кону стояла жизнь его сына, и он готов был рискнуть, что бы спасти его от неминуемой смерти…
