There are series after which a long “aftertaste” remains. The film “Scouts” also belongs to the category of such films. The actors and the crew so well immerse the viewer in the atmosphere of the film that they involuntarily empathize with the heroes and remember their fate for a long time after reading the tape. So, who directed the series and which actors were involved in the "Scouts"?
Filmmakers
Scouts is a series directed by Felix Gerchnikov. Perhaps the most famous works of Felix are the paintings “Pickup: Eat Without Rules” (starring Konstantin Kryukov) and “New Year's Trouble” (starring Daniil Spivakovsky). The director very carefully approached the selection of actors. For example, more than a hundred candidates for the main female roles were viewed.
The script for the series was written by Alexei Onishchenko, who also created the script for the first season of the series Sklifosovsky and for the serial film The Sleeping Area.
The operator invited Kirill Speransky to the project, who shot the films "New Year's Plague", "Satisfaction." The music for the picture was written by Darin Sysoev, who also wrote the soundtracks for the films Vasilisa, The Man with the Guarantee and The Substitute.
Filming of "Scouts" began in July 2012, and ended in November of that year. The company was engaged in production Rosmedia Production. The premiere took place first on Ukrainian television in May 2013, then on Russian TV in September 2013.
Svetlana Ivanova as Arina
Svetlana is an actress who can safely be called a person "without age." Despite the fact that she is already 30 years old, she continues to look like a young girl and plays mainly the roles of schoolgirls and students. A difficult role went to the actress in the series "Scouts".
The actors invited to the project, for 12 episodes, tried to tell the viewer the difficult story of two girls who, by the will of fate, fell into reconnaissance school during the Great Patriotic War. The heroine of Ivanova is an exemplary girl in all respects: a Komsomol member, a patriot, an idealist. By a ridiculous coincidence, she was suddenly accused of treason. As an atonement, Arina is offered to go to study at a reconnaissance school and devote the rest of her life to serving the Fatherland. Svetlana Ivanova, or rather, her heroine, agrees.
Arina's maximalism helps her successfully complete each assigned task. Until the lover of a girl who is in danger appears on the horizon.
Scouts: actors. Svetlana Ustinova
Svetlana Ustinova is known to the viewer for her roles in many Russian films and TV shows: Boomer, Smersh, Sea Devils-2, Odessa-Mama. In the series "Scouts" Svetlana got the second main role - the role of Zoe Velichko.
Velichko is the daughter of a dispossessed peasant who, by coincidence, turns out to be “his” person in the criminal world. Zoya copes with her duties as a gunner, but once she makes a mistake and is unfairly accused of murder.
Zoya is ready to do anything to stay alive and have the opportunity to take care of her daughter, so she agrees to go to the Kiev intelligence school and continue to risk her life every day. And then Zoya and Arina are scouts.
The actors of the series, along with their heroes, undergo a number of difficult tests. So the heroine of Svetlana has to endure separation from her daughter, and unhappy love, and life on the run, before everything in her life gets better.
Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Irina Apeksimova
The spectacular screen pair turned out to be Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Irina Apeksimova. Vdovichenkov embodied on the screens the image of the head of the intelligence school Konstantin Vorotynnikov, and Apeksimov - the instructor Matilda Genrikhovna.
Both of these characters outwardly look cold, focused on tasks and requiring only discipline from subordinates. In fact, it turns out that Vorotynnikov and Matilda worry about their students and their fate, and sometimes they are even ready to go against their principles and official instructions.
Irina Apeksimova is a well-known artist who played memorable roles in the films “Bourgeois's Birthday”, “Fierce”, “Piranha”. Apeksimova has a memorable appearance and basically embodies on the screens images of self-confident and self-sufficient ladies.
Vladimir Vdovichenkov became famous for his participation in the projects "Boomer", "Brigade", "Homeland" and "August. Eighth. "
Evgeny Pronin and Anatoly Rudenko
Eugene Pronin and Anatoly Rudenko are frequent guests of serial films. Actors, one might say, specialize in serial films and are rarely shot in full-length projects.
Among the most famous works of Pronin - roles in the series "Temptation", "Wind in the Face" and "Pure Test". In the film "Scouts" Pronin got the role of an instructor for sabotage work in a reconnaissance school. In the course of events, the hero of the actor falls in love with the heroine of Svetlana Ustinova - Zoya. And although such relations do not comply with the charter, Nikolai Petrov takes care of the little daughter of his beloved and protects her in front of the authorities.
Anatoly Rudenko, known for the series “Dear Masha Berezina” and “Two Fates-2”, played in the film “Scouts” of the groom of Arina, Vladimir. It is for Vladimir’s sake that Arina decides to escape to the rear of the enemy, because in the Soviet Union he is threatened with reprisal, and nothing more.
