In 2014, director Sergey Ginzburg made a serial film in which many famous actors took part. The “Wolf's Sun” gathered a decent audience at the screens and made them watch the course of events with enthusiasm for twelve episodes. Who played the main roles in this series and what characters were involved in the screen action?
Guest actors: "The Wolf of the Sun" and its main character Mikhail Ostanin
"The Wolf of the Sun" is a typical spy drama. In the center of the plot is a young Chekist who cares for the future of his vast Motherland. Thanks to his perseverance, Mikhail Ostanin becomes the owner of important information that a massive offensive of white-emigrant troops is supposedly expected from Poland.
The NKVD and intelligence, without thinking twice, instruct Ostanin's mission to infiltrate the closest circle of the Polish general Romovsky. And Ostanin brilliantly carries out this assignment. Just being a spy is not easy, especially when “on the other side”, in the camp of the enemy, you find yourself a lover.
The director of the project Sergey Ginzburg, who previously shot Kill Stalin and Bitch for the Champ, made his project include quite respected actors: The Wolf of the Sun entered the filmography of Andrei Merzlikin, Ekaterina Klimova, Vladimir Ilyina. But Gela Meskhi, a graduate of the Moscow Art Theater School, is the youngest and most unknown performer in this company . On the account of the actor only 15 works in the cinema. Previously, he played major roles in the little-known films Hamlet, Physics or Chemistry, as well as Son of the Father of Peoples. In 2016, with the participation of the artist, 4 premieres are expected immediately.
"The Wolf of the Sun": actors and roles. Andrey Merzlikin as Victor Romovsky
According to the plot, from the side of Poland, the White Army regiments were to be led by General Romovsky. It was to him that Ostanin had to rub into the confidence. The “sent Cossack” succeeded - gradually the Polish general trusted the spy so much that he even began to give him personal instructions. The image of Viktor Romovsky was entrusted to Andrei Merzlikin, although many other actors claimed the role.
“Wolf's Sun” is not the only project in which Merzlikin was assigned the role of the main character. Every year, the artist is increasingly strengthening his position in domestic cinema. It all started with the famous action movie "Boomer", where Merzlikin appeared with Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Sergey Gorobchenko. Of the last roles of Merzlikin in the cinema, one can note the image of director Vadim Raevsky, confused in his life, from the film "The Green Carriage" and the role of aviation captain Verigin in the drama "Talyanka".
Vladimir Ilyin as Chekist Shilov
Vladimir Ilyin has been acting in films since 1967. But because of his non-standard appearance, the artist was in the shadows for a long time. Only in adulthood, Ilyin gained his unique character and began to enjoy success.
The first picture, after which Vladimir became recognizable, is the drama "Accident - the daughter of the cop," in which Ilyin played the role of a policeman. Then there was a whole series of films in which Ilyin was assigned the roles of military or police: “Anchor, another anchor”, “Lost in Siberia”, “Makarov”. Closer to 2000, Ilyin played the role of Cyril in Burnt by the Sun, the role of investigator in the action movie The Crusader and captain Mokin in the Siberian Barber. For a long time, the actor played an employee of the MUR Gryaznov in the series "Turkish March".
In the film "Wolf's Sun" actors Vladimir Ilyin and Gela Meskhi played colleagues in the NKVD.
Ekaterina Klimova as Beata
A graduate of the Shchepkinsky school Ekaterina Klimova first burst into the screens in 2004, thanks to the premiere of the soap opera “Poor Nastya”. Then Klimova got one of the main roles - Princess Repnina. I must say, the artist looked very impressive in historical dresses and wore them with dignity.
Then for four years, Klimova got lost in episodic roles in various TV shows. And in 2008, the actress recalled herself again as the nurse of Ninochka from the popular film "We are from the Future" (with the participation of Danila Kozlovsky and Vladimir Yaglych). Now Klimova constantly flashes on the screens, getting the main roles in a wide variety of projects.
In the film “Wolf's Sun”, the actors Klimov and Meskhi, unfortunately, did not play lovers, although the couple would be beautiful. The main character chose another girl - the heroine of Sofia Kashtanova. However, the Polish beauty Beata performed by Catherine did not lose hope of winning the heart of Mikhail Ostanin to the last.
Other role performers
The actors of the movie “The Wolf of the Sun” are Alexander Robak, Ian Frych, and Sofia Kashtanova.
Roebuck, known for his films Homeland and Life Is Just Getting Started, got the role of smuggler Stefan Gansky in the series. And the Polish actor Jan Frych acted as the head of the Polish counterintelligence Frantisek Sigunda. And, finally, the beloved of the protagonist (Polish lady Irina Belinskaya) was played by Sofia Kashtanova, who had previously starred in the films “Resort Romance”, “Thaw” and “Random Communication”.
