Александр Македонский: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

In October 1994, lawyer Valery Karyshev received a client, whose name, according to the terms of the contract, must be kept secret. This man is the legendary killer Alexander Solonik, who received the nickname "Macedonian" for his ability to shoot simultaneously with two hands. Solonik, who was wounded in a shootout with police officers, is placed in a special unit of the Matrosskaya Tishina detention center. Upon learning that the killer has already made two successful escapes from the courtroom and from the zone, the jailers transfer him to solitary confinement.

For the murder of policemen and thieves in law, the killer faces, in addition to a court sentence, two more unofficial, death sentences - from comrades of the deceased policemen and from the mafia. Realizing that death cannot be avoided, Solonik plans an escape, in which his masters, former generals of the special services, must help him.
