Call Sign «Cranes»

Their call sign is "Cranes", but in the regiment they are affectionately called "cranes". Many consider the platoon to be "charmed", because its fighters manage to perform the most difficult tasks, take "tongues" and carry out sabotage behind enemy lines, returning even from the most disastrous situations. However, in reality, not everything is so simple: outings often end in failures, wounded and dead friends have to be borne by themselves, and each new task turns into a game with death. Their enemy is always treacherous, but resourcefulness, ingenuity and the help of friends help them not to lose faith in their cause and in victory.

Directed by Igor Ugolnikov, Evgeny Ayzikovich, Yury Sukhodolsky, Call Sign «Cranes» leans on a strong ensemble — Vladimir Verevochkin, Aleksandr Bukharov, Igor Ugolnikov — 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 war & politics titles of 2023.
