Save Our Souls (Spasite nashi dushi) is a Russian 2008 TV series directed by Kirill Belevich. The plot is set in 1942 on the Taymyr Peninsula in the Far North of Russia. Sr. Lt. Aleksandr Krotkiy, an officer of NKVD (Soviet law enforcement organization at that time), investigates a mysterious death that the local tribesmen attribute to the spirit of a long-dead shaman. The investigation leads to the activities of a German spy who hunts for the secret map of the minefields at the coast.
