The Rublevo-Uspenskoye highway, in ordinary parlance Rublevka, is a 30 km. long road that leads from Kremlin to the west of Russia. At all times this place attracted ruling elite: tsars, dictators, presidents. Today’s president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, lives here also. During Soviet times only the few party bonzes, members of that time government, science and culture elite could get dachas at Ruvlevka. It seamed that dreams of prosperity and welfare come true here. Today luxurious, according to Soviet time opinions, dachas and sanatoriums of Soviet elite are replaced by cottages of today’s government tops, oligarchs, show-men and deputies. New Rublevka inhabitants form a separate small world-microcosm with their own venues, principles and rules. Now Rublevka is a kingdom of developed capitalism. Price for the land increases at lighting speed. Villas of noveau riches push out small houses of the last locals who feel like “Indians in reservation”. The film presents Rublevka inhabitants’ life – representatives of different social classes of Russian society.
