Dead Souls (1984)

The first season of the Soviet dramatic mini-Series “Dead Souls,” which can be watched online in our internet cinema with free access, starting from any of its five episodes, is an adaptation of Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol’s work of the same name. The events of the mini-Series begin when the adventurer Chichikov devises a cunning plan to become rich. All he needs to do is buy dead peasants from landowners who are still listed as alive in the records. Chichikov is sure that the landowners will gladly sell him goods they do not need for a small price. However, during his journey, Chichikov quickly realizes that buying dead souls is not so simple. After all, not all landowners will agree to sell such unusual goods, and even if they do, they will certainly bargain.
