Script features
The story about the life of a Bulgarian healer, which formed the basis of the plot of the series, allows a different assessment of the amazing phenomenon of Vanga. The duration of this film is 1911-2002. In the last series, we are talking about events that occurred after the death of the soothsayer.

A lot of real-life personalities are present in the plot of the film "Vangelia". Actors who played historical figures - Igor Livanov, Nikolai Mutafchiev, Vladimir Shcherbakov.
Meeting with Hitler
“Vangelia” is a television series based on both speculation and historical facts. The film depicts the meeting of the main character with Hitler. Did this event actually occur?
Before the attack on Greece, Hitler was actually in Bulgaria. It is believed that the Fuhrer made several attempts to attract Wang to cooperation. And a lot of facts indicate that the meeting of these people really took place. Opponents of this version give various arguments. The most significant of them is based on Hitler’s extreme hatred of representatives of the Slavic peoples. Given the racial hostility and other oddities of the Fuhrer, it is hard to imagine that he could take seriously the words of a Bulgarian peasant woman. The role of the most terrible historical figure of the twentieth century in the series was played by Igor Livanov.
Celebrities and Ordinary People
“Vangelia” is a television series dedicated to a woman with a difficult fate. The film has several storylines. An important role is played by the story of Olga Neznamova in the plot of the series “Vangelia”. Actors who played the role of fictional characters: Svetlana Kozhemyakina, Valentina Ananyina, Anatoly Bely, Anton Feoktistov.
The series is also interesting in that it contains many famous personalities, and the roles of some of them are played by unprofessional actors. For example, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov plays himself. The series interestingly shows Vanga's attitude to real-life individuals. The seer sincerely compassionates people in distress. In this case, it is extremely harsh to people known and respected by all.
Neznamovy
The protagonist of the series with special attention to some people. The fate of Olga Neznamova, for example, is closely intertwined with the life of Vanga. Olga and her husband are in Bulgaria. Their life is full of dangers, but both of them seem to be under the constant protection of Vanga.
Of particular attention, of course, are the actresses who played soothsayers at different stages of life.
Vanga
The role of the soothsayer in old age is played by Elena Yakovleva. “Vangelia” is a series that begins with events taking place in the late nineties. The main thread of the story is the story of a Bulgarian healer. The image of Wangi on the screen was created by several actresses.
The role of the heroine in adolescence was played by Natalya Nikolaeva. In her youth, Irina Rakhmanova. In the filmography of this actress, there are thirty-four roles. But the most famous heroines of Rakhmanova are Wang and Snow White from the 9th Company.
For filmmakers, it was not an easy task to find an actress for the role of an elderly Vanga. The fact is that the church today does not recognize the soothsayer. Actresses who received an offer to participate in the filming, first of all, consulted with their confessors. The proposal from the director came to Rimma Markova. However, the confessor of the national artist forbade even think about such a film work.
Inna Churikova held a different point of view. Wang brought people only good. So, creating her image on the screen cannot be a sin. The actress agreed to star, but shortly before filming she was injured. When Elena Yakovleva took part in the samples, the creators of the series realized that they could not find the best performer of the main role. The actress, unlike her colleagues, was not afraid of the role of the soothsayer. There is an opinion that Wang forbade filmmakers to create a picture about their lives. And the one who disobeyed, promised to severely punish. But what is true in the history of Vanga, and what is a legend, today no one knows.
