The Oligarch's Wife

2021–2023 · 2 seasons

A breezy, fish-out-of-water comedy about a pampered woman learning to survive small-town life with wit and warmth.

Overview: Albina's life changes in an instant: under threat of arrest, her oligarch husband leaves her, taking all the money with him. All that remains of the spouse are two children and a Russian factory on the verge of bankruptcy. Now Albina is forced to forget about the luxurious life in a London mansion and remember what she was told in business courses. Just to start life from scratch in a provincial town without a penny in her pocket, no one taught her.
