The series has achieved something of a cult status among its audience and still attracts an estimated 3 million viewers with its last rerun.

Shukshin's Stories

The main thing that unites both the works themselves and the films made is a whole gallery of the brightest images and characters, a story about such different destinies and differently meaningful lives, a story in the center of which is invariably Man, with his love, quests, weaknesses and victories.
