Children of Arbat


A Finnish channel is showing Russian TV-series Children of Arbat, which is based on the Children of Arbat-trilogy written by Anatoly Rybakov.
It is set in Moscow in the 1930s and tells the story of some young Muscovites and their lives during Stalin's increasing paranoia and the start of the Great Purge.
After seeing one chapter, I can say that it's extremely interesting for a student of Russian and an ex-almost-Muscovite, but I think that anyone interested in history and Russia might find this useful.
