Recently, a new series “Security” (2017) was released on Russian television screens. Let's find out what he and what artists played the main roles in the project.
Features of Russian police series
Since the TV show in question belongs to the category of police series, it is worthwhile to find out what are the features of this genre in Russia.
Films and series about the work of the police in any country, as a rule, are adapted to the local mentality. This allows the creators to make what is happening on the screen closer to the audience and make them empathize with movie heroes.
Most US police projects show the work of law enforcement agencies, either comic or overly heroic.
At the same time, French and Russian TV shows of a similar genre are closer to meticulousness in everyday life images and realistic plot. Because of this, in such projects the finale is far from always happy.
Despite this, films and series of this kind are very popular with the audience, especially if the detective line is well written in them. And if the project also has a love story - the success of the female audience is guaranteed.
Having examined the features of Russian police projects, it is worthwhile to take a closer look at one of the typical representatives of this genre - "Security".
The series "Security" (2017)
This project was launched back in 2014, but its premiere took place only 3 years later. Therefore, different sources indicate different years of production (2014 or 2017).
The series was directed by Nikita Vysotsky, who also played one of the main roles in it.
The author of the script "Security" - Andrei Kivinov, who previously presented the audience with such police series, which have become classics such as "Cops" ("Street of Broken Lights"), "Deadly Force" and "Opera. Chronicles of the slaughter department. "
Plot
The project tells about the working days and the personal life of the employees of their own security Ministry of Internal Affairs. Every day they have to risk their lives and look for so-called werewolves among their colleagues.
In the center of events is the department of Colonel Boris Tsarev, who is famous for honesty and integrity. Among the most active employees are majors Olga Gorina and Nikolai Boykov. Sometimes Svetlana Rodionova and an expert from the technical department of the OSB, Anton Chistov, are involved in the investigation.
As in many Russian police series, in "Security" the main characters are devoted to their work and are often ready to sacrifice their personal lives for its sake. However, due to the characteristics of the profession, they really do not have it.
Over the course of 8 episodes of “Security,” the main characters have to investigate 4 convoluted crimes.
In the story “The Ideal Hunter,” Gorin and Boykov seriously study the life of the captain of the criminal investigation department, Kopeikin Kirill. This humble employee is suspected of having connections with major drug dealers throughout the region.
Trying to figure out what's what, Gorina is approaching Kopeikin, and the captain even saves her life. At the same time, the woman falls in love with the suspect and now can not trust the sobriety of her judgments.
The second story - “Panic Button” - is dedicated to the search for a werewolf in the ranks of the precincts of one of the districts. After the tragic death of one of them, it turns out that many police officers in this department are dishonest. However, which of them decided to kill a colleague remains to be seen.
To make it easier to do this, Svetlana Rodionova is being introduced into the department. Although such work is not entirely her profile, the girl hopes that in this way she will be able to attract the attention of Nikolai Boykov, who is at the head of this operation.
At the center of the third investigation, “Family Relations,” is the head of the OSB department, Tsarev himself. His daughter is going to marry Lieutenant OBEP Anton Shatunov. At the same time, it turns out that the guy is somehow connected with illegal mining in the area, as well as an underground casino. To understand what is happening, Tsarev will have to make some difficult decisions.
The protagonist in the latest story - “Probationary Period” - is a newcomer to the OSB - Roman Fokin. He accidentally learns that the husband of his best friend’s passion is shot dead. Suspecting something was wrong, Fokin begins to intervene in the official investigation. Soon he is facing a difficult decision. He has to choose: whether to achieve a fair punishment for the offender or to help a friend.
Nikita Vysotsky, Kirill Pletnev, Daniil Vorobyov and Alexander Ratnikov - male performers
After considering the plot of the project, it is worth learning about the actors of "Security" (2017), as well as the characters they performed.
The aforementioned Nikita Vysotsky (“Listener”, “House of the Sun”) played the head of the department - Boris Tsarev. His character is typical of Russian police tapes: an honest, but not wealthy boss who put his life and health to fight crime.
Other actors from Security (2017) include Kirill Pletnev (Sky of the Fallen, Viking). This artist played the investigator Kirill Kopeikin, who was suspected of all mortal sins (from drug trafficking to murders) in the first story. His character is typical for Kivinov - a conscientious middle-level cop who, because of his decency and responsiveness, instead of gratitude, gets a scolding from his superiors.
Unlike Tsarev, Kopeikin’s wife turned out to be not so understanding woman and left him. Despite the difficult divorce and difficulties at work, the hero continues to be a man and even tries to find time for his son.
In addition to the above-listed artists who play the main roles, it is worth noting among the crew of the series "Security" Daniil Vorobyov ("Investigator Tikhonov", "Fifth Guard"). He played Nikolai Boykov.
This hero is honest and devoted to work, but sometimes he is too susceptible to emotions, which harms everyone. For example, in the investigation of the Kopeikin case, Boykov was so hurt by this hero that he was ready to break the law, if only to put the captain behind bars. In the “Panic Button”, the major falls in love with his employee Svetlana and, due to his haste, receives a bullet.
Unlike the mentioned actors of “Security” (2017), Alexander Ratnikov (“Icon of the season”, “Mommies”) starred only in the last 2 episodes (investigation “Probationary Period”). He played the role of Fokine, trying to justify his former partner.
Actresses of the series "Security": Anna Arefieva and Alexander Mareeva
Having examined the artists who played the main male roles in the project, it is worth learning about their wonderful colleagues - women.
Strict and unhappy Olga Gorina was played in the series “Security” by Alexander Mareev (“Investigator Tikhonov”, “Classmates”). Her heroine is an excellent specialist, however, in order to become a professional in her field, she had to sacrifice her heart.
In the past, Gorina saved her beloved from death, but for this she had to put him in prison for 8 years. Because of this, notoriety goes about a woman and other colleagues, except Tsarev, are not very fond of her.
Anna Arefieva (Bounty Hunters, Heavenly Court) played the role of Svetlana Rodionova in the project. Unlike Olga Gorina, her heroine is a beautiful and cheerful woman who did not have to sacrifice anything.
Once, for fun, Sveta decides to conquer Boykov. However, the man did not fall for her tricks. Then the beauty gets involved in a risky adventure to hurt the unshakable major. But in the process, Svetlana herself falls in love with Nikolai.
Other project artists
Having examined the actors of "Security" (2017), who played the main roles in the project, it is worth learning about the performers of episodic characters.
The most significant of them are Rashid Tugushev (Chistov), Irina Byakova, Daria Ursulyak and Mikhail Grubov (wife, daughter and son-in-law of Tsarev), Anton Kuznetsov and Natalya Dvoretskaya (friend of Fokin and his beloved), Rostislav Bershauer and Alexander Pashkov (district Saprykin and Sedykh), Daniil Belykh (chief Shatunova) and others.
