What happens

The Elusive Avengers (Russian: Неуловимые мстители, translit. Neulovimye mstiteli) is a 1967 Soviet action adventure film by Mosfilm. Directed by Edmond Keosayan, the screenplay by Keosayan and Sergei Yermolinsky is loosely based on the novel Red Devils by Pavel Blyakhin, which was previously adapted in 1923. The film is an example of Ostern, set in Russia during the Russian Civil War of 1917-1923. Two sequels, both also directed by Keosayan, followed, The New Adventures of the Elusive Avengers (1968) and The Crown of the Russian Empire, or Once Again the Elusive Avengers (1971).
