'''''Investigation Held by ZnaToKi''''' (''Sledstvie vedut ZnaToKi'') is a cult Soviet detective TV series, released in 1970s-1980s (last two episodes were released after a long break in 2002) and based on stories and characters by Olga and Aleksandr Lavrovs. The main characters of the series are three detectives of Moscow ''Militsiya'': investigator Maj. (later Lt.Col. and Col.) Pavel Pavlovich Znamenskiy ([[Georgiy Martynyuk]]), operative Capt. (later Maj., Lt.Col. and Col.) Aleksandr Nikolaevich Tomin ([[Leonid Kanevskiy]]) and forensic expert Capt. (later Maj.) Zinaida Yanovna Kibrit ([[Elza Lezhdey]]). The acronym of the first letters of the names of the main characters makes the title "ZnaToKi" ('''Zna'''menskiy-'''To'''min-'''Ki'''brit) that in turn corresponds the Russian word "znatoki" that means "experts". Last two episodes were filmed when the actress Elza Lezhdey had passed away, so the character of Zinaida Kibrit was replaced with expert Kitaeva (Lydia Velezheva).

Investigation Held by ZnaToKi (Sledstvie vedut ZnaToKi) is a cult Soviet detective TV series, released in 1970s-1980s (last two episodes were released after a long break in 2002) and based on stories and characters by Olga and Aleksandr Lavrovs. The main characters of the series are three detectives of Moscow Militsiya: investigator Maj. (later Lt.Col. and Col.) Pavel Pavlovich ("Pal Palych") Znamenskiy (Georgiy Martynyuk), operative Capt. (later Maj., Lt.Col. and Col.) Aleksandr Nikolaevich ("Shurik") Tomin (Leonid Kanevskiy) and forensic expert Capt. (later Maj.) Zinaida Yanovna ("Zinochka") Kibrit (Elza Lezhdey). The acronym of the first letters of the names of the main characters makes the title "ZnaToKi" (Znamenskiy-Tomin-Kibrit) that in turn corresponds the Russian word "znatoki" that means "experts". Last two episodes were filmed when the actress Elza Lezhdey had passed away, so the character of Zinaida Kibrit was replaced with expert Kitaeva (Lydia Velezheva).

The trio mostly deals with non-violent crimes, like thefts, fraud, counterfeiting and illegal gold trade, so firearms relatively rare are seen in the series.

Note 1: the page covers only 22 episodes, released in 1971-1989. Two episodes, released in 2002, are not included.

Note 2: First nine episodes were filmed in B&W.
