What Is Troublemaker About?
The premise of Troublemaker without spoilers.
A village school graduate, Pyotr Gorokhov from Dyadkovo, arrives in Moscow and miraculously gains admission to a prestigious economic university. His provincial manners and blunt honesty contrast sharply with the city‑born classmates, earning him the nickname “Balamut” (Troublemaker). Quickly becoming a charismatic leader among the students, Pyotr still wrestles with two hurdles: an unreciprocated crush on a striking Cuban girl and his struggle to master English.
