This miniseries depicts the dealings of Moscow's main food hall during the Soviet era, and most especially the corruption in all transactions with officials during the last days of Leonid Brezhnev, and the first of Yuri Andropov. In that respect it is very realistic (including the outrageous displays of wealth, not at all in accordance with official Soviet "humility"), and so too are the many flashback scenes with then-footage.

Great job by Russian Cinematographers

It's based on a version of actual events, most of the real names have been changed, but you truly get the atmosphere. Highly recommend it for those who want to learn (or remind oneself of) this time in the USSR history.
