The series "Youth" on the STS channel quickly gained popularity. The hockey team was very fond of the audience. You can learn more about Kostrov from Molodezhka from our article.
Life off the set
The role of Alexander Kostrov was performed by actor Ivan Zhvakin. He dreamed of playing in the theater and cinema since childhood. In his youth, the guy devoted 6 years to studying at a theater school, where training was the most versatile: fencing, stage movement and plastic, as well as the basics of stage combat. Ivan entered four universities at once, but chose the VTU named after Schepkina.
The guy is a diverse personality. He graduated from music school, where he learned to play the accordion and drums. While still a student, Ivan began to try himself in advertising and television series.
Movie career
Ivan Zhvakin's career began with small roles in the cinema. However, they did not bring the actor wide fame. In 2013, everything changed. Ivan got the role of Alexander Kostrov from Molodezhka - a sports series where the story tells about the lives of the guys from the Bears hockey team.
Already in 2016, the young actor starred in the film "Dancing to Death." In this project, he got the main role.
Transformation into a hockey player
Sasha Kostrov from Molodezhka is an interesting and unusual role. In the team, he plays in the position of an extreme striker. Like other guys, Sasha dreams of a career as a professional hockey player. At first, the guy’s parents do not agree with this decision. Alexander’s father is a professor at the university, and therefore education for him is higher than his son’s sporting ambitions. Sasha loves his parents, but as a man he stands his ground and finds a compromise that suits everyone.
This character is one of the most unusual in the entire series. Despite the prevailing stereotype that athletes are far from science and culture, he writes poetry, studies in the physics and mathematics class and is very erudite.
Of interest is the love line of this character. Sasha begins dating an ex-girlfriend of a teammate, but they all end in a break. After another unsuccessful attempt to build a relationship, Kostrov turns into a casanova, constantly changing companions. Cheating on her lover, it would seem, could permanently close Sasha’s heart, but in recent seasons he met the girl Kira, who returned real feelings to Kostrov’s life.
Conclusion
Parallels can be drawn between the character of Kostrov from Molodezhka and Ivan himself. Both of them are purposeful and versatile personalities, who are still not alien to romance.
The series "Youth" continues to capture the audience with the plot and speed, so they follow the fate of their favorite characters with bated breath.
