Petersburg secrets

Roman Vsevolod Krestovsky was named one of the most significant social works of Russia of the XIX century. The authors of the film used only the beginning of the literary work of Vsevolod Krestovsky, removing all the social problems of the novel, completely rewriting the plot outline and the characters of the main characters. As a result, instead of a social work, an action-packed adventure television series was made. In 1998, another 48 episodes were written and edited for the filmed 48 episodes - under the title “Interchange of Petersburg Secrets”. Scriptwriters and directors moved away from the tragic plot of the novel, giving the television series a happy ending and social lightness, completely changing many of the characters' characters and actions.
