About The State Counsellor
A special train from St. Petersburg to Moscow. General Khrapov is stabbed in his compartment. A mysterious "BG" mark was found on the handle of the bloody blade - the sign of an elusive terrorist group. Only Fandorin can neutralize it. Prince Pozharsky, who is also investigating the case, stands in his way. A deadly duel begins.
Directed by Filipp Yankovsky, The State Counsellor leans on a strong ensemble — Oleg Menshikov, Nikita Mikhalkov, Konstantin Khabenskiy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action & adventure titles of 2005.
