Overview (Plot Summary)

A story set in Soviet-era Leningrad (1978) follows the death of young pianist Marina Viktorovna Rostovtseva, who is killed in a pedestrian accident caused by Alla Dmitrievna Korneeva—described as the kept woman of General Volkonsky, a high-ranking internal-affairs official.

Despite the severity of Marina’s injuries, the investigation is quickly closed under the claim of “no crime.” Korneeva is treated as protected by the “system.” An official even offers the father money to stay quiet, but he refuses and becomes consumed with uncovering what happened and why normal legal options fail.

The Father’s Conclusions

Professor Viktor Sergeevich Rostovtsev, an esteemed surgeon, determines that Korneeva was intentionally left to die after the hit—an outcome made possible by power and influence shielding the offender.

He collects testimony and circumstantial evidence, including:

  • The janitor who allegedly saw Korneeva alive and smoking after the accident.

Because he believes the law cannot reach the person responsible, Rostovtsev decides on a form of vengeance designed to remain undetectable.

The “Perfect Crime” (Medical Revenge)

Rostovtsev prepares a “perfect crime” over the following weeks using a special experimental absorbable surgical thread, described as having covert experimental properties: once placed inside the body, it gradually tightens and then disappears, leaving no direct proof.

The Operation

When Korneeva is brought to him for an “urgent” procedure (acute abdominal condition), he performs surgery that appears normal but secretly places the thread to block a key blood supply, planning a delayed death.

The Delayed Symptoms

Korneeva initially survives the operation, but within weeks she develops symptoms consistent with:

  • Slow ischemia
  • Intestinal infarction
  • Necrosis
  • Gangrene

Later medical review determines the cause is not natural complication, but instead evidence of an intentionally placed ligature/loop.

Ongoing Power Protection and Personal Loss

While Rostovtsev executes his plan, the general continues to shield Korneeva.

Additional personal tragedy follows:

  • Rostovtsev’s wife, Elena Pavlovna (Rostovtseva), suffers a fatal heart attack shortly after Marina’s funeral.

As Korneeva’s condition deteriorates, Volkonsky tries—and fails—to reach Rostovtsev in time. The resulting surgical evidence leads to an official conclusion that Korneeva’s death was murder by a surgeon who understood anatomy and technique.

Arrest, Trial, Sentence, and Amnesty

Rostovtsev is arrested and tried behind closed doors, justified by the political importance of “big names” and “dirty details.” He receives a long prison term (described as 15 years in strict regime).

After serving 12 years, he is released under an amnesty.

Final Twist: Katya’s Revelation and Forgiveness

The ending delivers a moral and emotional reversal years later. Katya Korneeva, Korneeva’s daughter, visits Rostovtsev as he is dying.

She explains she had grown up with hatred and confusion about her mother’s death. But after investigating, she learns the full truth, including the janitor’s account.

Katya does not come only to punish:

  • She comes to forgive
  • She discusses her life and her relationship with the name “Marina”
  • She reveals how the shared name with Rostovtsev’s daughter shaped her fate

Rostovtsev dies peacefully, leaving a final envelope containing the blue surgical thread—framed as the only proof of his actions.

Closing Question / Moral Framing

The video ends with a discussion-style question:

  • Was Rostovtsev morally justified in violating the Hippocratic Oath and killing someone—especially when the legal system fails victims?

The narrative frames revenge as ultimately empty, despite later forgiveness and emotional complexity, emphasizing that revenge does not restore peace—it leaves lasting suffering.

Key Claims and Themes Highlighted

  • Abuse of power blocks justice: the case is closed despite apparent cause and outcomes.
  • Medical expertise becomes a weapon: Rostovtsev engineers delayed, hard-to-prove lethal harm.
  • Later recognition of intent: surgical evidence shows an intentionally placed ligature/loop, proving murder.
  • Revenge carries lasting consequences: emotional fallout continues even after punishment.
  • Revenge doesn’t balance the world: it deepens suffering, though forgiveness complicates the idea of justice.
