In the multi-part film “Viola Tarakanova”, the actors introduce the viewer to the adventures of an ordinary translator girl who constantly gets involved in criminal stories. The picture was shot based on the novels of Daria Dontsova. Who played the main roles in it?
Viola Tarakanova: actors. Irina Rakhmanova as Viola
In the center of the dynamically developing plot of the series is an English translator Viola. She lives in a rented apartment, moonlighting as a tutoring. Once on the street, Fork meets a girl who has lost her memory. Moreover, she wanders in a nightgown and, obviously, needs help. That's how Viola Tarakanova gets involved in her first investigation.
Actors Marina Alexandrova, Dmitry Kharatyan and many others who participated in the filming are well known to the Russian audience. But the performer of the main role, Irina Rakhmanova, became a real discovery.
Previously, Irina could be seen in episodic roles in the films "Brother-2", "Family Secrets" and "The Secret of Swan Lake". But to notice the colorful actress was almost impossible, since her presence on the screen was reduced to a few minutes. True, there was still a major role in the film “Two drivers drove”, where Rakhmanova appeared in the frame with Pavel Derevyanko, but the project remained unfamiliar to the average viewer. Irina became a truly recognizable person only after filming in Viola Tarakanova.
Viola Tarakanova: actors and roles. Ilya Shakunov as Major Kuprin
Any non-professional detective must have a friend in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to whom he can turn in the discovered criminal at any time. Police Major Kuprin is the same friend whom Viola Tarakanova is constantly asking for help. Actors Ilya Shakunov and Irina Rakhmanova, working in pairs, easily reveal the most complicated crimes.
Ilya Shakunov - St. Petersburg actor. In the late 90s and early 2000s, he constantly flashed in popular TV shows: in Kamenskaya Ilya played a disabled person, in the streets of broken lanterns as a journalist, in the National Security Agent as a criminal. Soon, the directors began to trust the artist in the main roles: in 2001, Ilya played in the art house drama "Dark Night", in 2002 - in the melodrama "Girlfriend Autumn", and then in the films "Ice", "Kidnepping", "Special Forces" -2 "and" Three colors of love. " Recent works on television by Shakunov are the role of Pavel Ryazanov in the series "The Fate of Fate", as well as the main role in the thriller "Mediator".
Marina Alexandrova as Viola's friend
Some actors of "Viola Tarakanova" starred in the series, while still little known, but then "gained momentum." This applies to actress Marina Alexandrova, who in the film played the best friend of the main character - Tamara Kuzmichev.
I must say that the series “Viola Tarakanova” did not play any special role in the career of the actress. Long before that, Alexandrova played the main roles in the TV series “Poor Nastya”, “The Thief-2”, etc. However, she became popular after participating in the series “Star of the Epoch” in 2005: then Marina Alexandrova played the central character - actress Valentina Sedova, and her partners on the set were Alexander Domogarov and
Lyubov Polishchuk. Then the scandalous affair of Alexandrova with Domogarov began, thanks to which the name of the actress did not go off the pages of the "yellow" press for quite a long time.
Today, Marina is a fairly sought-after actress. True, it is removed mainly in series.
Dmitry Kharatyan as Semyon Popov
Actors "Viola Tarakanova" Dmitry Kharatyan and Marina Alexandrova in the film played a romantic couple. Dmitry Kharatyan appeared before the audience in the image of Semyon Popov, who fell in love with Viola’s girlfriend, and even married her in the second season.

Nowadays, he appears in a wide variety of films: in the film "The Return of the Musketeers" Kharatyan played King Louis, in the series "Faith, Hope, Love" - military surgeon Viktor Stroyev, in the lyrical comedy "The Boatswain Chaika" - a boatswain named Chaika.
