Cool School

Cool School is a Russian children's television series that premiered in 2013 and quickly gained popularity among both younger children and teenagers. The plot centers on the lives of schoolchildren—their ups and downs, first loves, friendships, and conflicts with teachers and parents. The main characters face typical adolescent challenges while simultaneously learning the importance of mutual understanding and how to approach various situations with maturity. Intrigue, humor, the realism of everyday situations, and the sincerity of the characters make the series both engaging and enriching. Cool School offers young viewers a mirror in which to reflect on their own life experiences—and, perhaps, to learn from the mistakes of others. Thus, the series serves not only to entertain but also to educate, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of children's television.

The criminals that Lyokha must catch are fairy-tale characters: the Serpent Gorynych, Baba Yaga and other evil spirits.

Жил-был пёс

The story centers on former boxing champion Evgeny Polkanov. After his Olympic defeat, his life went downhill: his athletic career ended, his wife left him, taking their son, and all that remains is a routine job as a bodyguard for the narcissistic businessman Titorenko. But Zhenya loses even this—he's left on the street with a black mark after accidentally breaking his boss's nose. Against the backdrop of all these events, the effects of an old head injury worsen, and he begins to see the Wolf from the cartoon "Once Upon a Time There Lived a Dog." Sarcastic and brash, he becomes the embodiment of an inner voice and the former athlete's constant companion. It is he who pushes Zhenya to pull off a scam just like in the cartoon. The plan seems flawless: kidnap Titorenko's daughter and then heroically "rescue" her in order to get his job back and restore his relationship with his family.
