In one of the Moscow departments of internal affairs, a major with the inconspicuous surname Chapaev “drags” the service. No! Not Vasily Ivanovich. His name is Andryukha. Behind him is a business trip to a hot spot, on his shoulders are major epaulets, and on his chest is a well-deserved military order, which he wore ten times in ten years. At his police department, Major A.V. Chapaev heads the operational search department. Together with his “Chapaevites,” he catches bandits and thieves in hot pursuit, and “dissects” sexual perverts. In general, he lives the everyday life of a lonely opera with chases, ambushes, massacres and an always empty refrigerator. But one day in the life of Major Chapaev, an event happens that is much more extreme than all the previously solved cases - Ksyusha and her little daughter Zhenka appear in his life. But Chapaev has already forgotten how to combine his service, full of dangers and extremes, with his personal life. “The Boring Life of Major Chapaev (Police Melodrama)” is a book about how one person can change the life of another, filling it with love, tranquility and comfort, which so much is missing in police everyday life. And about how difficult and scary it can be to surrender to feelings even for someone as strong and smart as Major Chapaev.
