The premise

Summer 1980. While the Olympics held in the USSR, strange and horrible things are happening in a run-of-the-mill pioneer camp. It turns out pioneer vampires exist not only in horror stories.

Little brave boy secretly aim to discover the reason behind his brother death. Harmless and eternal journey begins to turn around when he soon discovers that one of his roommates is actually sucking the blood. Now, the independent hero must team up to find out how the vampires ended up in a Soviet summer camp, how to destroy them, and who actually killed his brother. Upon the way, Valerka learn how to trust, meet friends and sacrifice himself to the one he truly fell in love. The cost of everyone`s freedoms turned him into a vampire. Has he turned into a monster forever?

Horror Vault's take

Set against the backdrop of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, this Russian coming-of-age series drops a sharp, quietly determined boy named Valerka into a Soviet summer camp where the danger lurking among his fellow pioneers is far more sinister than homesickness. Armed with grief over his brother's mysterious death and a refusal to accept easy answers, Valerka begins pulling at threads that unravel something ancient and bloodthirsty hiding in plain sight. The show blends the nostalgic texture of late-USSR youth culture with genuine vampire dread, grounding its supernatural threat in intimate human stakes. Bonds forged at Camp Thunderbird will be tested in ways none of its young residents could have anticipated.
