The Murder at Zhdanovskaya (Russian: Убийство на «Ждановской») is a 1992 Russian crime film directed by Sulambek Mamilov.[1][2][3] The film is a fictionalization of the 1980 Zhdanovskaya murder incident.
The film takes place in 1980.[4] It tells about an investigation into the mugging and murder-kidnapping of a KGB man by MVD thugs at Zhdanovskaya Station. Because of the impunity enjoyed by members of the Soviet secret services, robbery of passengers on the Soviet railway system by MVD agents was widespread.
