Department. The Landlady

"Department". The mathematics department of a large Moscow institute. A small closed world where life boils and serious passions brew. Against the backdrop of the everyday existence of the institute, stories unfold about teachers and students—stories of talent and mediocrity,... love and friendship, nobility and betrayal, professional ambitions and intrigues. "The Landlady". Vera married young to a selfish and authoritarian man much older than her, mistaking the domestic tyrant for a "knight in shining armor" due to her youth and inexperience. And so she would have lived out her days in the role of a submissive and powerless wife, not even realizing her position, if not for fate interfering in Vera's story..
