This film was released on Russian screens in 2009, but so far its fans have not diminished. Actors of the series "Bros" represent a galaxy of the best representatives of the film industry of recent years, and the project itself is the brainchild of Mostelefilm, the general producer of which is Valentin Opalev.
The abyss of similarity or the peak of inaccessibility?
Eight years ago, the cinema world was a bit agitated, glancing cautiously at a new picture. And indeed, in those years, a large number of militants were shot regarding criminal topics. Therefore, the first impression was that it was another tape about the dismantling of bandits.
Nevertheless, the series "Bro", the actors of which were selected very well, surprised everyone. This complexly designed project (in each of the three parts two 16-episode 45-minute stories were created) turned out to be surprisingly correct, suitable for the realities of that time. The authors of the picture did not become accusers of criminal authorities or gangs. The show began with a very powerful plot, familiar and understandable to almost everyone who at least once went out on a picnic.
Friends forever
Everything seems to be easier. After all, before, even in Soviet cinema, films were made in which some event took place precisely at a picnic.
Well, then it began such that it is very difficult to tear your gaze from the screen. The main characters are tenacious - it seems that nothing will happen to them until the very last series, in which there will be an enchanting happy ending.
The plot was quite ordinary - forcing girls into prostitution, dishonest policemen, determined gangsters, loyal friends who know how to be in the right place at the right time ... Everything that the series “Brothers” (2009) showed was an honest story of real men who they do not know how to remain indifferent to the misfortune of others, the real army friendship of the guys-officers, faithful to their "brotherhood". And they remain so in any situation.
Story line. Case in nature
Season 1 of the "Brothers" is a story about four paratrooper friends who, by chance, were drawn into the fight against one of the criminal gangs involved in human trafficking. The guys go to nature to relax - Sergey, Makar, Lenya and Kostya. It just so happened that they happened to witness a very unpleasant event: several men molested pretty girls. Friends are not used to staying away, so they stood up for the girls.
Between the devil and the deep sea
But committing such a noble act, young people do not even realize that those against whom they went are members of a criminal structure selling girls to sex slavery.
And now, when friends involuntarily crossed the road to the slave traders, they have no right to take at least a step back. This is contrary to their principles. Thus, they find themselves in a rather critical situation in which help will not come from anyone: on the one hand, brothers, and on the other, employees of the corrupt police. The only thing left for them is to join the battle and start their own investigation.
These are the events you can see in the 1st season of "Brothers".
Friends Actors

The leading roles in the 16-episode film were invited by domestic actors favorite by viewers. Who was approved for the role of Makar paratrooper in the series "Bro"? Alexey Kravchenko is the only one whom the directors generally considered. The actor began acting as a teenager in the sensational once “Go and See”. And then, throughout his film career, in most cases Kravchenko got roles in military films. Kostika was played by Dmitry Dyakonov. This actor, unfortunately, lived a short life. He died of acute heart failure at the end of February 2009, having played his last performance a day earlier.
The third friend is Ensign Lenya. This character was played by Sergei Selin, famous for “Streets of Broken Lights”. According to the scenario, Leonid was not able to adapt well to the realities of modern life after the army. He can not find a decent job, so his wife often has to shoulder the problems. And they still love each other.
But the paratrooper Sergey Yavlinkin was played by a young beginner (at that time) actor. It was he who was invited to the role of the fourth friend in the series "Bro."

And the four men who played the main roles during the filming became friends so that they felt like one family. Selin and Kravchenko were familiar from their previous work, and old-timers met Khabarov and Dyakonov only here and immediately felt a disposition towards each other.
By the way, the actors know about the army firsthand. Kravchenko served in the navy for three years, sailing in a submarine.
