Brigada

A cult crime TV series that follows the fate of four friends who, in the early 1990s, rise from ordinary guys to powerful criminal figures. The main character, Alexander Belov (Sergei Bezrukov), returns from military service and is drawn into the underworld. Together with his friends — Kosmos (Dmitry Dyuzhev), Phil (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), and Pchyola (Pavel Maikov) — he forms his own gang, gradually gaining power and influence. However, as their authority grows, so do their enemies, internal conflicts, and betrayals, leading to tragic consequences. The series blends drama, crime, and action elements and became one of the most popular shows of the early 2000s.
