"If only I could make it to the evening," joked Vyacheslav Gladkov while congratulating women in a musketeer costume in 2020. Over the years of the war, the name of the Belgorod Region governor has become known throughout Russia. Within the region, he literally first became D'Artagnan, who rocked cars at the site of an aerial bomb impact, and then became a man whom local residents refuse to even let into their cars. "Pepel" tells the story of Vyacheslav Gladkov's main PR ups and downs, which influenced the attitude of Belgorod residents toward the governor and, perhaps, the fact that Gladkov once again has to make it to the evening and avoid the fate of his deputies, who were arrested in a case involving the theft of money for the construction of fortifications in the border area.
