> Can you explain why Django is at fault?
1) According to [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/monitoring-
stats.html PostgreSQL docs] state "idle in transaction" means that query
was executed and control returned to backend code, but it hasn't committed
the transaction yet. But save() is stuck somewhere (it is incorrect). If I
place print(123) after it - it will not print anything. So PostgreSQL
ended its work, but save() method stopped, waiting for something and not
continuing code execution. The expected behavior of django here is to
leave save() method, than leave "with transaction.atomic" context manager
and commit transaction, so other transaction can go in. The proof is
replacing save() method with QuerySet.update(). As you can see on the
screen, it generates perfectly the same SQL, but works fine without
stucking.
2) The second strange factor is second select query, generated inside
save() method. As you can see from above and screen, it's the same query
without "FOR UPDATE". But there is no need in this query - conversation
data has been already selected by "SELECT ... FOR UPDATE". According to
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/models/instances/#what-
happens-when-you-save the docs], save() should do only one query - INSERT
or UPDATE (UPDATE in this situation) without any SELECT queries.
P. s. The only reason for save of doing second SELECT from the docs is
getting pk value. But it is not INSERT query, pk is already defined.
Moreover force_update=True doesn't change anything.

> propose a change to fix it
I'm not quite good in django inner code, I've tried debugging where,
inside save() method, the problem is, but haven't succeeded
