Mid-season ripening variety, obtained at the Bakcharsky Support Station of the Northern Horticulture Research Institute of Siberian Horticulture named after M.A. Lisavensky through open pollination of the 'Nocha' variety. Authors: L.P. Samolova, V.M. Kob yakova. Included in the State Register of Selection Achievements approved for use in the West Siberian region in 2007.

Strong-growing, moderately spreading, dense bush. Growing shoots are medium, straight, green, becoming pale-green with anthocyanin coating before lignification; lignified shoots are light-brown. Buds are medium-sized, pointed, sit on short stems, deviated from the shoots, leaf scar shape is round.

Leaf is five-lobed, large and medium-sized, dark green, weakly glossy, weakly wrinkled. Leaf blade is bare, leathery, convex. Lobes are pointed, the central lobe is strongly elongated and significantly exceeds lateral lobes; occasionally additional protrusions occur. Lateral lobes are widely spaced, angle between their midveins is obtuse. Basal lobes are well developed. Leaf base is heart-shaped with a small notch. Teeth are large and medium-sized, pointed, with white "tips". Petiole is medium length and thickness, intensely anthocyanin-colored.

Flowers are medium-sized, cup-shaped with widened base. Sepals are greenish-purple, curved in an arc, freely positioned. Inflorescences are medium length (up to 8-10 cm), hanging, medium density, axis is medium, green, petiole is bare, medium length.

Berries are large (average mass 1.5-1.7 g, maximum 2.1-3.0 g), irregular, round, black, shiny, with asynchronous ripening, contain a large number (up to 60-70) of large seeds, taste is sour-sweet (4.8 points), refreshing. Skin is dense, with dry detachment, good transportability. Berry stem is thin, calyx is closed. Chemical composition: total sugars — 8.6%, titratable acidity — 2.7%, ascorbic acid — 205.0 mg/100 g. Sensory evaluation of juice, jam, compote — 5 points.

Cold-resistant variety, highly self-fertile, highly resistant to bud mite and powdery mildew, average yield up to 9.8 t/ha.

Advantages of the variety: resistance to powdery mildew and bud mite, stable yield, high fruit quality, large berry size, longevity, transportability, extended ripening allows for longer consumption of fresh berries.

Disadvantages of the variety: medium resistance to septoria and fire blight.
