Interesting Facts
Next, we give some interesting information about the film "Kuban Cossacks." The actors and the roles they played are already familiar to you. The idea of creating a tape based on the story of a village fair came to Pyryev after working on the painting “The Legend of the Siberian Land”. At the film studio "Mosfilm" approved the script of Nikolai Pogodin.
Its working title is "Fun Fair". Marina Ladynina, the wife of Pyryev, was approved for the role of Peresvetova. She constantly starred in her husband's paintings. For the role of Gordey Raven, Sergey Lukyanov was chosen. This was preceded by long trials and searches. For the role of Dasha, they unexpectedly approved Klara Luchko, the then little-known actress.
Luchko said that she had encountered Ivan Pyryev in the corridors. He looked at her and said: "Come to the test." At the same time, Luchko was not listed in the official list of actors recommended for the role. At the end of the shoot, the acquaintance continued. Luchko and Lukyanov got married. They lived in marriage for fifteen years, until the death of their spouse.
Filming took place in the village of Kurgan, on the collective farm millionaire "Caucasus". Pyryev did not need to embellish reality too much, the scenery of the fair, which was not actually held, was built from scratch. Stalin gave the painting the name "Kuban Cossacks." Before us is one of the first Soviet films shot in color on a film released by the Shostka factory.
The film was released at the box office with great success, it received enthusiastic responses from critics. Songs were famous. In 1956, at the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, Khrushchev accused the film of “varnishing” reality, after which the “Kuban Cossacks” disappeared from the screens for a long time.
In the era of Brezhnev, the picture was edited, restored, re-sounded and returned to the viewer. The updated version, and is now broadcast on TV, is being broadcast on video. The original version of the tape has not yet reached the viewer. In 2012, the TV channel Zvezda demonstrated a complete digital restoration of the painting based on the 1968 version.
