Housewives and pensioners, schoolgirls and students, working and on maternity leave - we all love to watch TV shows. Of course, on the one hand, it is a waste of time. On the other hand, it is a window into the "other world", where we forget about our worries and anxieties and worry about our favorite heroes. What is "IBD"? Of course, this is the series "Institute of Noble Maidens". Filmed in the best traditions of the domestic television industry, it allows you to plunge into the world of the century before last, when there were no wild traffic jams, computers and the fast pace of life. When the letters went for weeks, and the young people met not on websites, but at balls.

What is "IBD" for the domestic audience? This is an opportunity to break away from today, to remember that the most important thing is human feelings and relationships. The film "IBD" ("Institute for Noble Maidens") won the love of a multi-million audience of the Russian audience not only with a twisted plot with eternal passions and the struggle between good and evil. The cast is chosen in such a way that we are simply pleased to look at these cleangirlish faces, and romantic heroes - such as Count Vorontsov - we fall in love with from the first episodes. Yes, of course, we are wondering what "IBD" is - is it just another series, "chewing gum for the mind" or a work of art. It is difficult to judge the artistic merits of the tape, especially since strong, truly dramatic scenes are not found there so often. However, the musical arrangement, the brilliant work of the costumers, the intricate plot make us watch the screen and eagerly wait for the new series.

Fans of historical films remember well, for example, "Petersburg Secrets". Even stronger crash into the memory of the film adaptation of the great classics - take at least "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky in the unsurpassed series Bortko. What is "IBD" against the background of such works? We can say that this series is deeper and juicier than other "popular" shootings on historical topics. The merits include the work of screenwriters, and the superbly selected duet of the main actors - Sofia Gorchakova (played by Alisa Sapegina) and Vladimir Vorontsov (Alexander Arsentiev). We plunge into the world of the last quarter of the nineteenth century, into the atmosphere of the Moscow Institute of Noble Maidens. It was a closed educational institution for girls from noble families. However, the pupils are on the verge of adulthood, and everything that happens in the country (the Russian-Turkish war, student unrest, the raznochintsy movement) affects them in one way or another.

At the movie,shown in 2010-2011, there is a sequel. As it should be according to the laws of the genre, we can follow the further fate of the heroes we love. The series "Secrets of the IBD", however, not only develops the storyline of Sophia - Vorontsov (who became spouses in the first part), but also introduces us to new characters. The next generation of pupils - 18-year-old Elizaveta Vishnevetskaya, Evgenia Menshikova and other girls - are drawn into no less difficult ups and downs, become participants in events that change their lives and characters. There is also a villain here - Lisa's uncle - the mysterious Admiral, who is at the head of the criminal world of Moscow, but does not want to limit himself to we alth. What does he achieve, what role does the "white general" Skobelev play in everything, how the imperial family takes part in history, how the railway is being built - we can learn about all this from the series.
