Plot:
1991. The Soviet Union is living out its last days. Life is getting worse before our eyes: the shelves in the shops are empty, money is losing its value, and the streets are turning into a continuous market where you can buy everything from a loaf of bread to a machine gun. The country's population is rapidly sliding into poverty.
The artists feel good in this situation. They were finally freed from the tutelage of state philharmonic societies and could now manage all the profits from concerts themselves.
True, now they attracted the attention of criminal structures, who offered the musicians "protection". And those who refused to pay tribute to the bandits were forced to maintain armed guards...

On August 6, 1991, in Leningrad, in the Yubileiny Cultural Center, another concert of Russian pop stars took place, among whom a special place was occupied by the singer Igor Talkov.
His social-patriotic songs, full of biting lyrics, found many fans among different strata of the population. However, the concert was unexpectedly interrupted, and the excited audience was told that their idol would not appear on stage.
He was seriously wounded by a pistol shot and now doctors are fighting for his life.
Detectives who arrived at the scene established that the fatal shot was preceded by a quarrel between Talkov director Valery Shlyafman and singer Aziza's security guard Igor Malakhov.
Shlyafman assured the detectives that Malakhov had shot Talkov, and since the singer had been killed with his pistol, Malakhov, who had disappeared from the scene of the crime, was immediately put on the wanted list.
However, several months later, Malakhov himself contacted the prosecutor's office and reported that Talkov had been killed by his own director, Valery Shlyafman. After conducting a search of Shlyafman's Moscow apartment, detectives found traces on his clothes that confirmed Malakhov's words, but it was not possible to detain and interrogate Shlyafman.
It turned out that he had recently emigrated to Israel and changed his last name. Thus, the investigation still has no answer to the main question. Was Igor Talkov's murder a fatal coincidence, or a well-planned action?
