Plot synopsis
The hero of this wild comedy is a daring romantic, Sebastian Grigoryevich Solovyov, who worked in finance and suddenly decides to start a new life by embarking on the wrong path of a Russian bandit, following the path of his ancestors... Now Seva Solovyi (the Nightingale) is the leader of a gang and is ready for a revolt, a senseless and merciless revolt. And while the security organs, the intelligence services and even a secret agent, agent N7, try to liquidate Solovyi's (Nightingale's) gang, our hero, with his characteristic skill and mischief, restores justice in his native region and at the same time wins the love of ordinary voters. Indeed, for a Russian, a bandit is not a bandit but a man of an idea, a fearless warrior who seeks freedom and about whom the people compose legends and songs.
And it doesn't matter that sooner or later the "tale" ends...
