Bitch War (Suchya voyna)

Bitch War (Suchya voyna; DVD release title Suchyy voyny (Bitch Wars)) is a Russian 2014 TV series. The plot covers the life of two men - Mikhail Matveev (Aleksey Demidov) and Lyova Grach (Mikhail Pshenichnyy), former close friends from a Russian village, throughout 1930s-1940s. Both fall in love to Lyuba (Karina Andolenko), and this makes them apart. After several years Mikhail turns into a criminal while Lyova becomes a law enforcement officer and marries Lyuba who still in heart has feelings to Mikhail. During the WWII Mikhail goes to Red Army, violating the rule of criminal life that forbids military service. The war is over, Mikhail commits another crime and is again arrested. He has to survive the so-called "bitch war" that occurred between criminals who served on the front ("bitches", in criminal argot) and those who remained in prison.
