In the film “Silent Outpost”, the actors introduce the audience to a real episode from the history of the 90s, when Russian border guards had to repel the attacks of numerous Afghan and Tajik militants for 11 hours on their own. Who starred in this film and how much is the plot true?
Short story
The script of the film was written on the basis of the novel by V. Povalyaev “Fight at the 12th outpost of the Moscow border detachment”. Although the writer tried to achieve historical authenticity, do not forget that his work is fiction, not documentary. Therefore, in the picture “Silent Outpost”, experts on the described incident may find some inaccuracies.
The plot of the film “Silent Outpost”, the actors of which undoubtedly did their best on the set, is dedicated to the events of July 13, 1993, when the Mujahideen attacked the outpost on the border of Tajikistan and Afghanistan. During this period, there was a civil war in Tajikistan, but the border outposts formed under the Soviet Union with Russian personnel continued to function.
The main task of the border guards remained the prevention of smuggling across the Tajik-Afghan border. And then a group of intelligence officers learns that soon a large group of Mujahideen will try to “break through” the border line to capture the capital of Tajikistan. Border guards understand that they have to accept the battle, after which not everyone will survive.
Filming took place in the Novorossiysk region. Many screen heroes have real prototypes.
Silent Outpost: actors and roles in the film. Andrey Chadov
Andrei Chadov in the film Sergei Makhovikov "Quiet outpost" got the role of captain Andrei Pankov.
Andrey is the head of the outpost. But shortly before the events indicated, the man completely lost control: all because his wife left him, and from now on captain Pankov "drowns longing in the bottle." But when the time comes to act, to fulfill his duty, Andrei gathers his courage and very successfully manages the outpost defense.
The film "Silent Outpost", the actors and roles of which make an indelible impression, was not the first film for Chadov in which he plays the military. In 2004, the artist made his successful debut in the film "Cadets", where he played the role of a cadet at an artillery school, who was destined to soon leave for the front of World War II. In 2006, Chadov became famous for the role of a contract soldier from the movie Alive, who returned from duty without a leg and is forced to adapt to the new reality.
