There were some really entertaining detective films in the USSR in 70s. This one was really popular and was shown all around the country. The story is about young police officer, who just started his hard career and wishes to face real criminals. The cases that the chief gives to a young officer seem too simple for him, but once he comes across real band of criminals and starts to follow its boss deep in the woods. I really enjoyed the music by Edward Artemyev here. Sometimes it sounds like space ambient, sometimes the great funk band plays, so the sound really drives here. Very good example of soviet action with humor and good script.
