Modern Heroes

A Siberian finds a city in need of a hero and becomes Saint Petersburg Man. However, he must temporarily leave to enlist in the army and a contest ensues to fill his role showing ordinary city residents how to behave and helping them in times of need. Four contenders appear and are tested for their intelligence, fighting skills, and ability to do well by St. Petersburg's sometimes less-than-affable residents. Meanwhile, Guinness record-holding "Bogatyr" Alexander Muromsky tours schools, demonstrating his strength by bending frying pans and telling kids what they must do in order to make a difference.
