The characters have fictitious names, but they can easily be guessed by real people whom everyone knows perfectly well: Robert Rozhdestvensky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Andrei Voznesensky, Bulat Okudzhava, Bella Akhmadulina, Vladimir Vysotsky, Ernst Neizvestny, Vasily Aksenov himself and others.

Incorruptible customs officer Sveta Suvorova has always been too principled for a small town where everything is decided "by friendship". At least until the Finnish mafia kidnapped her husband. There is a chance to get him back, but for this Sveta will have to forget about her principles and make a deal with her conscience.
