On October 7, 2013, the premiere took place - the series “Youth” was released on Russian screens. Starting from the very first episodes, the film was very interesting for the audience and gained real popularity, especially among the teenage audience. Thousands of fans of the project hope that season 3 will not be the last for their favorite series “Youth”.
Short storyline
The series takes place in the small town of Podolsk, where the team of the youth hockey league Bears plays. The guys are considered outsiders, and few people believe in their sports team success. However, everything changes dramatically with the advent of the new coach Sergey Makeev, who in the past was himself a very talented and promising hockey player, but a serious injury prevented him from continuing his career, almost making him an invalid. Now Sergey has set himself the goal of helping the children achieve what he himself could not achieve. For the sake of this, he selflessly tries to pass on to them all his skills and to reveal the secrets leading to victory.
However, not everyone likes the tough discipline that a new coach introduces in a team. Some young athletes value their freedom more and want to have fun, rather than work for sports awards. Others are distracted from hockey training by such vital interests as study and love. Therefore, as a coach Makeev, he has to overcome many kinds of obstacles inside the team and outside it. Spectators also watch how young hockey players go the hard way, which of windy boys makes them real men, strong body and spirit.

Many viewers note that the series is filled with the whole palette of emotions. Here you can see everything: friendship, true love, betrayal, meanness, and faith in victory.

Of course, this clearly indicates the high quality of this television product.

Among them are Fedor Bondarchuk, Vladimir Steklov, Anatoly Kot and others. The main role of Sergey Makeev, coach of the youth hockey team, went to Denis Nikiforov. In addition, Molodezhka opened many beginners, but undoubtedly very talented actors, to the audience.
Story lines
There are many interesting storylines that I would like to watch the development of in the series "Youth". Feedback from thousands of viewers suggests that the fate of the characters in the film is very vital, and the acting is realistic and therefore causes real emotions and empathy. It is interesting to observe the negative characters of the series, for example, Kazantsev and Zhilin, who are constantly engaged in some fraud and intrigue. But the special attention of the youth audience is attracted by three main positive male characters - 1, 9 and 10 number of the Bears team.
Egor Schukin
One of the main characters of the series is Yegor Schukin - captain of the Bears hockey youth team. His role is played by the young Russian actor Alexander Sokolovsky. “Youth” is far from the first successful work of this actor in the cinema. Prior to participating in this series, Sokolovsky starred in about twenty films, among which the most popular are the detective series Kamenskaya and Method Lavrova. Alexander was born on February 2, 1989. The growth of the actor is about 1 meter 80 centimeters, which is consistent with the sporting appearance of his hero in the series.
According to the plot of the film, Yegor Schukin was fond of sports, and especially hockey, since childhood. He is a very ambitious young man, he always dreamed of reaching the greatest heights in sports. In the youth team "Bears" he plays under number 10 and managed to become a captain. To achieve this, Yegor has repeatedly demonstrated his unsurpassed skill, bringing many victories to his team. The personal life of the hero is far from being so successful, since he is completely devoted to sports and gives him all himself without a trace. The Bears team also includes Yegor Dima’s younger brother, who, on the contrary, understands that no matter how important the game is, there are much more important things in life. On the basis of such opposing views, differences often arise between the brothers.
Dima Schukin
Dima plays in the team at number 1, he has a great responsibility - to protect the hockey gates. His role in the series is performed by Makar Zaporizhsky. The actor was born on September 5, 1989 and has already managed to prove himself in many television films. His film debut was a role in the TV series “My Fair Nanny,” after which the actor played in such famous films as “One Thousand Six Hundred Twelve”, “Ruble Life” and “The Dark World”. In real life, Makar is married to actress
Yekaterina Smirnova, who played the role of Vicki, Internet lover Dima Schukin in Season 1 of Youth. The growth of the actor is 1 meter 79 centimeters.
According to the plot of the series, the hero of Makar Zaporizhsky is often subjected to coaching criticism, since he is not so devoted to the game as his older brother. The fact is that the younger Schukin is more focused on studying and devotes more energy to the physics and mathematics department, rather than hockey. In his personal life, he is also not happy, in addition, Dima has many conflicts with members of his team, so he will have to change a lot in himself in order to promote a spirit of unity for the sake of overall team success.
Alexander Kostrov
Alexander Kostrov in the team "Bears" is the second person and performs the role of vice captain. His team number is 9, and his position is an extreme striker. This character in the series is played by Ivan Zhvakin. The actor was born on February 25, 1992. Ivan began acting in films at the age of twenty, and over the past four years, his most striking works have been roles in the TV series Dark World and Freud’s Method. The actor is quite tall - 1 meter 88 centimeters.
Alexander Kostrov, the character embodied on the screens by Ivan Zhvakin, was raised in an aristocratic family, so his inherent manners and behavior greatly distinguish him from other players on the team. Because of this, Sasha often feels like a "black sheep" and it is not easy for him to find a common language with the team. Do not understand the young hockey player and parents. They see their son with a brilliant education and at a prestigious job. However, Sasha refuses to enter the university, because he can not imagine his life without hockey. Naturally, this causes a storm of parental indignation, and the guy has more than once to defend his position in life.
Continuation of the series
The series "Youth" (season 3) was able to please the audience, becoming a worthy continuation of the first two seasons of the project. The fate of the heroes is intriguing. Many say that they are looking forward to 4 seasons, as there is still something to say about the plot of the series "Youth". Reviews from the audience show that the heroes of the film managed to win their love, and I do not want to part with them at all. Even critics agree that at the moment, Molodezhka is the most successful project of the STS channel, which means that the chances of seeing it continue are very high.
