The TV series "Krasny Yar" is a Russian historical detective story about the consequences of the "gold rush". A couple of unusual guests arrive in the modern city of Krasnoyarsk - a young historian named Viktor Antonov and a Frenchwoman named Barbara with Russian roots. According to the official version, they are planning to make a documentary film about Siberia. However, Barbara actually has a 19th-century map that she inherited, which is believed to lead to a rich gold deposit. But the land of the Yenisei still remembers the bloody war fought over this metal.
