Summaries

Two journalists from the newspaper "Grim Tales from Russia", Lev Venediktov and Masha Palkina, are sent to investigate various paranormal stories. The general plot is organized similarly to the American TV series "The X-Files", with two major differences: the two leading characters are not FBI agents, but journalists and the series is a comedy. In order to come up with their stories, the series' writers relied on facts taken from press reports, eyewitness accounts and their own observations. Upon transformation in the writers' imaginations, these facts were turned into fantastic tales dedicated to real problems associated with the people's barbaric attitude towards nature, ecological crimes, mismanagement, irresponsibility and impunity.—Laplandian
