Plot
editArkady Anikeev, the mayor of Sineozersk (lit. Blue Lake Town), a small town in the interior of Russia, gets arrested by the federal investigative service on bribery charges. Until the start of his trial, the town court sentences him to house arrest, but in his childhood home rather than his luxurious mansion. His wife has abandoned him, as all property was registered in her name. Once in the communal apartment, Arkady runs into Ivan Samsonov, who was a neighbor of his in the same apartment block during their childhood and used to bully him. Despite their differences, Arkady decides to assist Samsonov in becoming the new mayor of Sineozersk in order to help remove all charges against himself.
