Visit to Minotaur (Vizit k Minotavru) is a Soviet 1987 five-part detective mini-series directed by Eldor Urazbaev and based on the eponymous novel by the Vayner Brothers. A unique violin, a masterpiece by Antonio Stradivari, is stolen from the apartment of the famous violinist Polyakov. Detective of prosecutor's office Stanislav Pavlovich Tikhonov (Sergey Shakurov), assisted by Ugolovny Rozysk (criminal police) detective Elena Sergeevna Nechayeva (Anna Kamenkova), investigates the case. A second storyline of the series, set in Italy in 17th-18th centuries, depicts the life of the famous violin maker Antonio Stradivari (also Sergey Shakurov).
The mini-series is a second screen adaptation of the original novel after 1974 movie Nochnoi vizit. In 2016 the novel was adapted once more as a part of TV series Sledovatel Tikhonov.
