The Lensky Connection

Russia, Spring 1996. In the run up to the Presidential election Major Valeri Grozky of the Federal Security Bureau (FSB) is fighting organised crime in St Petersburg, making his own stand against the drug gangs after the death of his older brother from a drug overdose. His fight puts him into an uneasy alliance with Natassja Petrovskaya, a journalist acquaintance determined to expose corruption. Against his wishes, Grozky is selected for a Russian Military Intelligence (GRU) operation investigating an oligarch involved in an oil company privatisation fraud which an American Senate investigation will publicly expose. Unless the growing political scandal can be contained, it threatens to topple the Russian government. Grozky is in a race against time to prove the oligarchs guilt.

With the Russian election looming, he and Natassja are marked because they know too much. Grozky is forced to reassess his loyalties and confront the real enemy
