Description: The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed follows buddy cops Vladimir Sharapov (Vladimir Konkin), recently returned from the Eastern Front, and anti-banditry department captain Gleb Zheglov (Vladimir Vysotsky), in a police investigation into the "Black Cat" gang in post-war Moscow. Created by Odessa Film Studios, with scriptwriters Arkady and Georgy Vayner adapting their own novel The Era of Mercy, which was in turn based on real events that took place in the early 1950s.
Runtime:
- Part 3: ~66 minutes
- Part 4: ~74 minutes
Trivia: The Lyube song "Atas!" is based on this series. That song is in fact how I first heard about this series. Supposedly a lot of lines from this series are still widely quoted by Russophones to this day.
Content warnings for death incl. murder, drug use incl. smoking, and things of that nature. Contains some "intense and disturbing scenes".
I'm glad to have created a Soviet Glorp Shitto (Shorp Glitto?) in Zhob Goblov. Also, I had no idea that he was played by Vladimir Vytsotsky!
Gleb Zheglov. What a name.
