Tobol is based on actual historical events. It is Russia during the reign of Peter I. It is a time of the empire's complex formation, bloody feuds, and external enemies' encroachments. At this time, Ivan Demarin, a young officer of Tsar Peter's new guard, is sent to Siberia, to a border town of Tobolsk, on the Tsar's assignment.
Here, Ivan meets his first love and, together with his regiment, finds himself drawn into a conspiracy of the local princes, who are hunting after the Yarkand gold. His fortress is surrounded by the hordes of wild Dzungars, and there is nowhere to expect help to come from.
This is the story of one day in the life of Elizabeth Glinka, the head of "Fair Care" foundation, a philanthropist, a doctor and a human rights activist. As the day starts, Elizaveta and her husband Gleb are going to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. Liza is planning to spend some time with her family, waiting for her sons and close friends to arrive. The last thing to do is to drop by Paveletsky train station to check the campaign of the Fund for sending humanitarian supplies to people in need. Suddenly, she is addressed by the father of a girl suffering from a severe disease, and Doctor Lisa agrees to help. This request yields lots of unexpected circumstances into the well-planned day.
