Artyom Bolshunov

Two up-and-coming friends, seeing themselves as the future elite of the new world, oligarchs, they sign up for a major deal, but it turns out that they have been drawn into a massive embezzlement scheme involving billions from the treasury. After his arrest, Andrei ends up in an overcrowded communal cell, a purgatory where he must transform himself into a different person in order to survive and return back to the real world, to his family.

Only tractor driver Igor knows the truth about the three aliens who landed in the village and took on human form. Precinct officer Sergei Petrovich senses something is wrong, but no one believes him. After all, the new ones quickly fit into rural life: Igor met his beloved in the person of Sveta, the teacher Ira met a kindred spirit in the form of Roma, and the daughter of the district policeman Lyuba met the hero Borya. But hiding the truth is becoming more difficult due to strange events around, including beavers who have started talking thanks to an alien substance trapped in the river.
