Foundling

A cunning small-time swindler from Novgorod nicknamed Foundling escapes vengeful local criminals and accidentally lands in Leningrad in 1926, where the police mistake him for a famous investigator newly appointed as head of the criminal investigation department. Instead of clearing up the misunderstanding and disappearing, Foundling discovers a vast warehouse of confiscated luxury goods and decides to stay, using his new "official" status to plan an audacious heist. With a police ID in his pocket and the entire city convinced he is a brilliant detective, he sets in motion a grand burglary under the very noses of the law.
