Crime and Punishment (Russian: Преступление и наказание, romanized: Prestuplenie i nakazanie) is a Russian TV series adaptation of the Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, broadcast on Kinopoisk streaming service in November 2024.
The premiere of the first four episodes was initially scheduled for release on Kinopoisk on October 26, 2024.[1] However, it was first postponed to October 27,[2] then delayed further to October 29,[3] before being indefinitely postponed.[4] The first four episodes were ultimately released on November 2, 2024.[5] The remaining six episodes were made available on the platform on November 30.
The story is set in modern-day Saint Petersburg, Russia. Rodion Raskolnikov, a destitute and unemployed student, is tormented by poverty and existential despair. Gradually, he becomes convinced that certain individuals possess the moral right to commit heinous acts if they serve a greater purpose—advancing human progress through extraordinary discoveries. Determined to test this theory, he murders Alyona Ivanovna, an elderly microcredit lender. Investigator Porfiry Petrovich takes on the case, seeking to extract a full confession from Raskolnikov through psychological confrontation.
