The video of the execution appeared online immediately after the brutal murder of two migrants. Moreover, while the Russian law enforcement agencies showed a strange apathy in the investigation, the Nazis quite frankly took responsibility for it. In this situation, an Israeli director penetrates under the guise of a sympathizer into the darkest nooks and crannies of the fascist underground in order to find and expose the killers. However, the result, the documentary thriller Credit for a Kill, paints an ominous picture: many unsolved hate crimes committed in Russia go unpunished, perhaps precisely because they were committed with the assistance of the authorities.

The authors of the film-investigation set a goal to find out the true reasons for the murder of the legendary hero of the Civil War Grigory Kotovsky. For many years, well-known historians and descendants of the red general have been trying to understand who benefited from Kotovsky's death, which was always presented solely as a result of a domestic conflict? The general was killed in 1925, allegedly at a friendly party. He was shot not just by a comrade-in-arms, but by a man who owes a lot to him. Perhaps the origins of the tragedy should be sought in the criminal past of Kotovsky himself. On the other hand, the killer could have been pushed to this step by those who were directly interested in eliminating the popular but absolutely uncontrollable hero of the Civil War from political life.

The sin of murder that cannot be washed away, the mark of Cain, a personal catastrophe. This happened to Vyacheslav Sharayevski 25 years before, when he was a district prosecutor. The death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment when a moratorium was placed on capital punishment, but some thirty men sat together in a single room for six months, expecting to die on the 3rd, 13th, and 23rd. A change happened then, like being born anew. This man who was once an atheist, rationalist, and skeptic now became like a babe, a child of God. He owes his new life to an amazing priest, Alexander Borisov. Between the saint and the sinner is an eternal link. How they need one another.
