Gavrilov, who in theory manage to overcome death by embalming the body of Vladimir Iljitsh Lenin. Ever since the embalment their entire lives have been attached to Lenin's corpse. The accomplishment makes Abrikosov "A hero of Socialist labor", and as a result he has to live in a Kudrinskaja skyscraper with other heroes of socialist labor.
Kudrinskaja's residents are all heroes of Soviet society until one night they're dragged down from the top floor into the basement for an execution due to luxurious lifestyle. One night Abrikosov receives a phone call from his apprentice Sasha that there is a problem with Lenin's body just prior to the celebration of First of May. Apparently there is a fly inside Lenin's sarcophagus.
Welcome to Moscow of 1936 and into the world of Stalinist terror where no human is worthier than a fly.
