Vyacheslav Persiyanov-Dubrov

Based on the play of the same name by A. Galin, staged by the Central Academic Theatre of the Soviet Army. Konstantin Ivanovich Ermolayev, who had been driving locomotives for many years, was offered a dispatcher job due to his approaching retirement age. He refuses to accept this and goes to his wartime friend Pankratov for advice.

The heroes of the play are the father and son, the Raskatovs, whose lives are marked by the echoes of the past war: the father, a prominent military leader, dies from wounds sustained during the war; the son perishes while disarming a Nazi chemical weapons depot.

The teleplay was based on V. Mayakovsky’s poems “You!”, “Listen!”, “Conversation with Comrade Lenin” and other works of the poet.

Colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lukyanov, is going on vacation with his wife to a resort town, where his old friend, Major Alekseev, a local police officer, lives. When they meet, the old friends agree to catch up the next day, but Alekseev seems worried about something he needs to finish. That night, Alekseev goes on a mission alone, during which he is hit by a car. When Lukyanov hears about it, he offers his help to the local police as a private individual, feeling it is his duty to find out the circumstances of his friend's death. The colonel will have to determine whether it was a deliberate murder or an accident.

Four one-act plays by Viktor Rozov in two parts.
