The story is about Nikita Kryukov, a hockey player known in the recent past, who chose the path of a hockey agent as a continuation of his career. Still remaining a maximalist and believing that everything can be fair, Kryukov is trying to build his career in the agency business. Nikita helps and protects his clients in every possible way, solving the most unexpected, sometimes unrelated hockey issues. However, by helping others, Kryukov is left alone with the problems of his personal life, which are much more difficult to solve.

You can start with a clean slate at any age. Even when you are 60 years old and it seems that everything is fine with you. Viktor Molodtsov, a lonely widower, an official of the "old school" of the Zauralsk city hall, who does not recognize modern technologies, suddenly finds out that he has an adult daughter in the capital… And she heads one of the departments of the Ministry of Digital and Advanced Development. Unlike her mild—mannered and out-of-date father, Ekaterina Kulik is very confident, tough and progressive - constantly modernizing all existing work processes. Well done "by connections" finds an opportunity to get a job as an ordinary employee in the Ministry. He is going to Moscow to find out if this is really his daughter, and if so, to gain her trust.

Their call sign is "Cranes", but in the regiment they are affectionately called "cranes". Many consider the platoon to be "charmed", because its fighters manage to perform the most difficult tasks, take "tongues" and carry out sabotage behind enemy lines, returning even from the most disastrous situations. However, in reality, not everything is so simple: outings often end in failures, wounded and dead friends have to be borne by themselves, and each new task turns into a game with death. Their enemy is always treacherous, but resourcefulness, ingenuity and the help of friends help them not to lose faith in their cause and in victory.

The story of the Podolsk cadets’ heroic stand outside Moscow in October 1941. Cadets were sent to the Ilyinsky line, fighting alongside units from the Soviet 43rd Army to hold back the German advance until reinforcements arrived. Hopelessly outnumbered, young men laid down their lives in a battle lasting almost two weeks to obstruct the far superior German forces advancing towards Moscow. Around 3,500 cadets and their commanding officers were sent to hold up the last line of defense outside Moscow. Most of them remained there for eternity.

1943. On the outskirts of besieged Leningrad, three children and their mother, who is too weak to go into the forest in search of food, remain in an empty village. One day, the sons go on the road themselves and find themselves faced with a non—childish choice - to save the family or the dog they find at the battlefield.
