Academy of Lies. Episode 1: Welcome to the Academy of Lies

A closed elite Academy trains future diplomats, politicians, and intelligence officers. Behind its gothic walls lies a unique system - student castes, strange rituals, and exams where the main weapon is not knowledge, but the ability to read other people’s secrets.Professor of psychology Alexander Leontiev, expelled from the university after a scandalous investigation, receives an invitation to the Academy. But within days he realizes: he’s not there to teach — he’s become part of a dangerous game. Humiliations, exposed secrets, and then — the first death, hastily labeled an “accident.”Leontiev notices what others overlook: the evidence contradicts the official version. Someone has carefully erased the traces and left him a chilling message — *“Welcome to the Lie.”* Now the professor must discover who is an enemy, who is an ally, and whether it’s possible to survive in a place where truth itself is a death sentence.
