Майор Гром: Чумной Доктор

Майор Гром: Чумной Доктор is a 2021 Russian action film directed by Oleg Trofim, based on the comic book series of the same name by the Russian publisher Bubble Comics, created by Artyom Gabrelyanov. It stars Tikhon Zhiznevsky in the lead role, alongside Lyubov Aksyonova, Aleksei Maklakov, Aleksandr Seteykin, Sergei Goroshko, and Dmitry Chebotaryov. The film is set in Saint Petersburg and tells the story of police major Igor Grom, an honest and skilled cop with unconventional methods, who pursues a vigilante murderer in the mask of a plague doctor.

A teaser for the film was first screened on September 30, 2017 at the IgroMir / Comic-Con Russia 2017, after which the project faced difficulties in production for some time - the team was disbanded and reassembled, and the concept of the film was redone from scratch. Three years later, a full-fledged trailer was presented at the Comic Con Russia 2020, with a tentative release date. Major Grom: Plague Doctor had its premiere on March 25, 2021 in St. Petersburg. The online premiere took place on May 5, 2021 on KinoPoisk HD and Netflix. The film failed at the box office, collecting only 328 million rubles in the CIS, with a budget of 640 million rubles, but it proved popular on Netflix and Kinopoisk HD.

On March 6, 2022, Netflix suspended operations in Russia amid the country's invasion of Ukraine, thus making the film unavailable to stream in the country indefinitely. The film is still available on the service in other countries worldwide, however and on KinoPoisk HD in Russia.
