On Rozanovs medals, fucked up property department and conspirational theories.
First of all, i wanna mention, that i'm a great fan of the series, the crew and actors did fantastic job, which looks 100% perfect to non-Russian viewers. On Russian part all russians suffer)
Sit down, it would be a lot of letters.
On Grigoriy Rozanov's medals:
First picture left and second picture left: both were meant for participants of WWW2, either in trenches or home front workers
So, as i see, we have 3 possibilities here, as soon as it was mentioned, that he was "about" 50, when Ilya was born:
1. Grigoriy Rozanov participated in WWW2. In that case he could be born in 1930 at lastest (a lot of teenages were partisans, factory workers hence the medal), so he is about 60 when Ilya was born. In this case he is a real hero and his behavior is even soft and indulging, judging from generational circumstacies.
2. He could mistake his medals for his father's (Ilya's granddad) medals due to dementia. Upper right (Lenin's medal, highest honor sign in USSR), and lower right (50annivesary of military force (including KGB)) could be either his or granddad's.
3. Strange set of medals does really mean only fuck up of HR property department. I know these series are not that serious, were low-budget and not about that at all, but come on! Its 10 minute research, guys, if you want to show highly decorated brass of... what? (in Russia we also have FBR and CIA, inner police force department, etc, but Rozanov's shoulder strip on mess jacket is unreadable).
Last remark: it seems to me, that most possibly, we are dealing, unfortunately, with theory N3 and Grigoriy was born about 1940, because he also has Medal of Courage (grey cross near shot glass), which was, mostly, put in action after 1995. And, mostly, was for veterans of Chechnya wars, so, probably, then Ilya was little, he commanded special operations against terrorists, Irina was at home alone with little hockey kid and "adult" Alexey. Or, if it was police work, rewarded by such medal at home, it means that Grigory's life was also at risk all the way.
Next part: on Terney's flirting with Dostouevskiy, and what comes of that (nothing good, but hold on...).
