Casino

Casino is a 1991 Russian drama set during the collapse of the Soviet Union, a pivotal moment when newfound freedom reshapes society in unexpected ways. In Moscow's heart, British entrepreneurs establish an elite gambling den that attracts politicians and the powerful each night. Inside, champagne flows and fortunes change hands, while ordinary citizens outside struggle to survive, forced to sell possessions for food. The series captures the stark contrast between the newly wealthy elite and the desperate masses, exploring how capitalism's arrival creates both opportunity and devastation in a nation in transition.
