The Russian historical drama series "You Can't Execute, You Can't Pardon" tells the story of how the past sometimes resurfaces and influences the present. At the center of the events is a young woman named Nina. She used to be a spy, but now all she can do is try to banish the horrific images of war from her memory and attempt to rebuild her life. However, in post-war Leningrad, life is no less terrifying than on the battlefield. Nina's husband, who worked in the crime-fighting department, was killed.
