In the history of modern Russia, the 90s left an indelible mark. At this time there was a weakening of moral standards, the judicial system, the impoverishment of the population. All of these factors have led to an incredible increase in crime. The directors were able to masterfully transfer the components of the realities of this era to TV screens - chases, gunfights, black Mercedes and BMW, racketeers and merchants, gangster clashes, crime in power.
The world outside the law delays all indiscriminately, like a huge funnel. Lawlessness and violence becomes the norm for almost everyone. According to the harsh adult laws, even children begin to live. They lose their childish carelessness too soon. Films about the dashing 90s permeated with hopelessness and mood of anguish. But in the best traditions of this genre there are also gangster comedies. All the necessary attributes complement the types of heroes of the time - a special jargon, tracksuits, gold chains around the neck, crimson jackets.
