About the series
One of the most popular and beloved Soviet TV series, based on the novel by Yulian Semyonov. The film reveals the subtleties of the work of intelligence officer Isaev, operating at the very heart of Nazi Germany. Constantly under the pressure of having to associate with those planning to destroy his homeland, unable to contact his closest loved ones for years on end, maintaining the appearance of anti-Soviet activity so that no one would suspect his espionage - all of this demands iron nerves, professionalism, and icy composure. And also logic, a sharp mind, and fearlessness. Stirlitz became a beloved hero, the Nazis stopped being mere bogeymen in horned helmets, and the war stopped being just a shoot-'em-up.
