This series was released in 1999. And immediately won the sympathy of a multimillion-dollar audience. And this was not some kind of accident or luck. Although the topics and problems raised in it were already familiar to the audience, their solution was somewhat different from that shown in other similar paintings. So, let's talk about the famous series "Kamenskaya". The actors who played in it have long been native to fans of the picture. And today, when several seasons have already been shot, without these stories it is impossible to imagine the program of many television channels.
Storyline canvas
In the generally accepted sense - as viewers are used to seeing such an action - this is not an ordinary detective story. The series "Kamenskaya", whose actors were selected long and carefully, is one of the attempts to show the current days of the country in a small section. It demonstrates the ordinary life of a huge number of people, into whose rather measured existence some kind of hurricane breaks into the difficult and deep topic of crime.
First of all, Alexander Marinin, as the author of books about the policeman Kamenskaya, and the filmmakers were worried about how the difficulty of choosing any person is realized and solved, which, due to ridiculous circumstances, is on the verge of a familiar world and criminal. This clearly stands out among other series of paintings "Kamenskaya". The actors and roles played by them fell in love with spectators of different ages. Indeed, the tape is unlike any film made in a similar manner. And this makes it possible when viewing not to compare it with others, but simply to enjoy the action.
The dramatic basis of the series is strong enough. And her psychologism is an incentive impulse so that the viewer can follow in tension all the ups and downs of the plot. And not a single person is indifferent for a minute.
The beginning of time
"Kamenskaya" - a television series whose actors woke up megapopular after the release of the first episodes, begins its history with the film adaptation of the book “Combination of circumstances” by Alexandra Marinina. Major Anastasia Kamenskaya comes to work in the investigative department of the MUR. She was invited as an analyst by Colonel Gordeev. She is the only woman in the department, so she needs to submit herself in the right way, to pass a certain exam, which was arranged by her new colleagues.
The first investigation of Kamenskaya was the case of the former subordinate Gordeev - Stasov. He drove from the airport to the house a woman who flew from a business trip. To pay for the fare, she leaves a passport to Stasov as a pledge and rises to her apartment for money. A woman does not return for a long time. Stasov rises after her and discovers her corpse. He calls the police, which detains him as a suspect. To help Stasov, a group of Gordeev is taken up. In the process of the investigation, Nastya will have to sit in the apartment with the killer, who was sent to take her life, understand his intentions and quietly hand them over to colleagues waiting in ambush for about 12 hours.
Public Pets
So, the series "Kamenskaya", whose actors told many stories about the everyday life of the Russian police, became the favorites of the audience. You can talk about them for a very long time. After all, they are well known to the audience. These are Sergey Nikonenko (Colonel Viktor Alekseevich Gordeev), Nikolai Chindyaykin (Eduard Petrovich Denisov), Boris Klyuyev (Vladimir Melnik, new head of the department), Sergey Veksler (Evgeny Parygin), Alexey Gorbunov (Gall), Sergey Garmash (Major Yuri Korotkov), Alexander Baluev (General Vakar), Gennady Nazarov (Sergey Denisov, Bokr), Dmitry Kharatyan (Sasha, brother of Nastya Kamenskaya), Natalia Rogozhkina (Dasha, wife of Sasha Kamensky).
In addition to them, the film starred Yaroslav Boyko (Major Vadim Boytsov), Lubomyras Lautsevichus (Ivan Zatochny, Lieutenant General), Alla Balter (Tamila Bartosh), Marina Mogilevskaya (Lyudmila Semenova), Marina Levtova (Svetlana Paraskevich), Oksana Mysina Isichenko), Andrey Panin (Vladislav Stasov, private investigator), Irina Rozanova (Tatyana Tomilina). The list goes on and on. But it’s already clear that the cast is “starry”. Over two hundred actors from Lithuania and Latvia, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine took part in the creation of the series.
Speaking about the series “Kamenskaya”, the actors of which were selected very carefully, and each story from which the audience knew by heart, it is impossible not to remember Dmitry Nagiyev. His character Misha Lesnikov appears throughout the good part of the series. Clean sincere eyes and a playfully attracting look simply attracted to the screens not only young maidens, but also a matron of venerable age, who had been married for a long time. All interest, of course, was masked under the pretext of sincere love for detectives and interest in the professional activities of the Russian police.
Best serial couple
But I would like to say special thanks to the two actors who played the roles of a loving couple in this series: Elena Yakovleva and Andrei Ilyin. After all, it was they who embodied the images of Nastya Kamenskaya and Alexei Chistyakov. Only the first few episodes appeared on the screen, and the names of their on-screen heroes firmly “stuck” to the actors. And still they are often called like that: Nastya and Lesha. As if there were no other characters played in their biography before and after this endless series.
Yes, the actors played the role perfectly. Kamenskaya is a series that for some viewers has become the ideal of the work of investigators and analysts, for others it is an entirely acceptable tape for leisure. But one cannot disagree with the fact that the preparation for the shooting, the process itself, the selection of actors, sets and musical design were so thorough that everyone was happy with the result: from the actors, directors, technical workers involved in the film, to critics and viewers.
The shooting of the picture took place under the leadership of the Rekun-Film company and the Belarusfilm national film studio. Therefore, the actors had to constantly travel from Moscow to Minsk and back. And the first film director was Yuri Moroz. By the way, one of the highlights of the tape was the sound in the frame of the music of Handel and Vivaldi (remember, under what musical accompaniment the main character woke up). This, on the one hand, made it possible for the viewer to enjoy the beautiful composition, and on the other hand, it unobtrusively showed that the policemen also understood the classics.
The fierce hoax of cinema
Over the past few decades, the active distribution of film production, many fans of good films know about some "devilry", which simply haunts some roles and pictures. In the top ten are the most famous moviegoers “Master and Margarita”, “Wii” and similar ribbons “with the aroma of sulfur”. After performing roles in them, the actors were seriously ill and even died. For example, the beloved Anatoly Papanov passed away after filming in the "Cold Summer of the 53rd" (in the picture, his hero is killed in a fight with criminals).
Recall how corporal Svyatkin (Leonid Bykov’s character in the movie “Aty-bats were soldiers”) dies in a film under the tracks of a German tank. After a fairly short period of time after the shooting, a similar situation occurred in the life of the actor himself. Leonid Fedorovich crashed into a skating rink that laid asphalt. Even Vysotsky himself once wrote about these coincidences: they say that death first of all takes away those who died pretending.
Not in the general scheme, but still ...
But there are films that, it would seem, do not fit into this series at all. They are different: they are not filled with mysticism and do not embody the slightest hint of something otherworldly. Nevertheless, with some artists involved in them, all the same sad events occur. So the cast of the series "Kamenskaya" suffered several losses in due time. The wife of director Yuri Moroz, actress Marina Levtova, artist Valery Priyemykhova, the magnificent and unique Viya Artmane, passed away. But on the death of Alla Balter, who left this world shortly after filming in the series, opposite opinions are still expressed. They name different paintings that caused this loss: about the investigations of Nastya Kamenskaya and the very Bulgakov novel, in the stage version of which the actress was involved.
Labor, labor and labor again!
Actors of the film "Kamenskaya" cause deep respect among viewers. And this is not only because most of them have long been loved and revered by the people. The work of these people simply cannot but cause respect, because every story, despite its seeming simplicity, is saturated with hours of shooting and endless takes. And all this so that the audience could not doubt for a moment that everything that is happening on the screen is the truth.
Acting work did not go unnoticed. Until today (and the first episodes of the picture were released 17 years ago) this series has not lost its relevance, has not lost a single viewer. The film crew of the Kamenskaya series did everything to ensure that a new generation of viewers who had grown up with no less interest than his mothers and fathers would freeze before the blue screen at the very moment when the credits of his favorite film “about decent policemen” appeared there.
Everyone has their own preferences ...
Of course, everyone’s tastes, including television, are completely different. Some people watch exclusively westerns, others prefer family movies and melodramas. The third most popular fantasy and action films, the fourth - musical films and series. But there is a separate cohort of viewers who are happy to sit in front of TVs to watch a detective story.
Yes, the Kamenskaya series, the actors and roles in which they performed showed the lives of police officers from the inside, is not an ordinary detective story. It contains human relationships, and some excursions in the history of twenty years ago, and attempts to create a perfect person, and mention of all sorts of the latest developments in science and technology ...
Such stories were seen by the audience in the film "Kamenskaya". The television series, whose actors perfectly played their characters, constantly takes place in the top ten best detective series filmed at the turn of the millennium.
