Actors in the film

His love of poetry and practical jokes prompted him to associate his life with the acting profession. He goes to Moscow and enters the famous "Pike". After graduating from college, Boris Galkin has been playing on stage for several years. In 1977, he fulfilled his dream by graduating from the directing department at the Institute of Cinematography.
Boris Galkin became popular thanks to the filming in the cinema, and all-Union fame came to him when the tapes “In the Special Attention Zone” (1977) appeared on the screens of the country, in which, like in the film “The Return Move” (1981), the actor played the role Officer Tarasov.
As a director, Galkin made several films, and for the film "Remember the smell of lilac ..." (1992) he himself wrote the script.
From 2003 to 2016, he led the television program "Serving the Fatherland". From 2005 to 2008 he was president of the Guild of Actors of Russia. The actor, who is already 70 years old, is still energetic, active: performs in the theater, writes scripts, gives interviews and is still in demand.
In the film “The Return Move” (1981), the actor Mihai Volontir is the performer of the role of ensign Volentir. Born in 1934 in the small village of Glieni, which is located in Moldova.
Before becoming an actor, Mihai Volontir worked as a school teacher, then headed the club. He came to the theater from amateur performances. After completing acting courses at the Music and Drama Theater in Balti, he began performing on the stage of this theater. He played about 120 roles.
He began acting in films in 1967. The most famous role of Volontir is the role of Budulai in the 1979 film “Gypsies”.
When the Reciprocal Move was filmed, the artist was 46 years old, but he was in excellent physical shape and ran faster than his young colleagues. In September 2015, the actor passed away after a serious illness.
Films such as “In the Special Attention Zone” and “Reciprocal Movement”, according to the opinions of the modern viewer, are needed now. They raised from boys men, defenders of the Fatherland.
