Over the past twenty years, a lot of series about police officers, detective agencies and others like them have appeared on the television screens of the country. Viewers watched a huge number of different stories from the life of conscientious (and not so) law enforcement officers and prosecutors.
Nevertheless, one niche among the whole variety of films was empty. Took her series "Kulagin and partners." Actors played in an unusual manner. But just such a setting of the work provided the picture with a good rating and the attention of the audience.
Story line
The central part of everything that is happening on the screen is occupied by the private detective agency Kulagin and Partners, actors who tried to convey interesting stories to the audience. The agency conducts its own investigations, taking this very seriously. He is led by a talented lawyer Leonid Nikolaevich Kulagin, who in the recent past was a former intelligence officer. He has brilliant intuition, composure, measured behavior, some severity and at the same time this ordinary human compassion. And Leonid Nikolaevich is a wonderful analyst. This is he, the owner of the law office "Kulagin and partners." Actors who were directly involved in the filming, tried to bring each story closer to reality so that the viewer did not have any doubts and questions.
Soul torment of the main "detective"
The series "Kulagin and Partners", the actors of which made every effort to play reliably every episode, is almost the only one that was named after the main character in action.
In an interview with reporters, actor Leonid Kulagin shared with him his thoughts and feelings about what emotions he experienced during the casting and for how long he was sure that the selection for participation in the series was completely random. He did not want to be a “man from the street”, suddenly decided to go to the set and stay on it.
But what about there, in the frame?
The life of every person, regardless of his age, well-being, religion and education, may at some point become dependent on a certain accident: an accidental meeting, an accidental event, even random weather conditions and cataclysms. But at the same time, there is some kind of inner core in a person’s life and destiny that allows him to cope with troubles and problems, as well as receive what a person aspires with all his heart.
The actors of the film “Kulagin and Partners” are absolutely sure of this. This is especially true for the chief of the law office - Leonid Kulagin. After he played the role of his namesake in the multi-part film, he became the star of the domestic investigation for many years and several television seasons. And in ordinary life, the actor received bags with letters of appreciation from attentive viewers for the work done. After all, everyone who watched this series was implicitly sure: this is precisely this person who will be able to help in any, even the most difficult situation.
As this does not often happen when the conversation is about a very long series, interest in it not only did not decrease, but increased by several points. After all, when the audience “tried” this movie, they expected the release of each new series with great impatience.
Each of the actors who starred in this series made a contribution to the development of history: Olga Motina, who played the assistant to detective Leonid Kulagin Olga; Marina Sokolova - assistant lawyer; Mukhtar Gusengadzhiev - Nikolay Abaev; Yuri Maslak - Sergey Mikhailov; Vladimir Shikhov - Ivan Andreevich Platonov; Ekaterina Skripkina - to nurse Alina; Marina Kapralova - Alevtina; Alexander Dziuba - Andrei Vladimirovich ... And this is only a small part of the cast. There were also Olga Khokhlova, Alexander Barinov, Nina Shchegoleva, Olga Suponeva, Ruslana Doronina, Dmitry Arkhangelsky ... Of course, there were a lot of actors. And this is not surprising. After all, this project is a cross between an art picture and a reality show that has a detective bias.
The novelty of the film masterpiece
So, we are considering the series “Kulagin and Partners”. The actors and the roles they performed were so intertwined that sometimes it was impossible to understand where the actor was and where his character was. It is possible that this happened for the simple reason that the picture is the first detective series of Russian production, which is based on real, not fictitious facts.
The main place in the film is occupied by a private detective agency, called "Kulagin and Partners." It with enviable ease carries out its own (and rather successful) investigations of various crimes. He is led by, as mentioned above, a former intelligence officer. His team consists of four conscientious assistants who work in pairs: Olga and Boris, Eugene and Alexander.
By the way, Alexander was played by Alexander Kulyamin, a Russian actor who not only acts as an actor, but also performs complex stunts as a stuntman and acts as their director.
One can not help but pay attention to one more actress employed in the series: Olga Suponeva - the widow of television presenter Sergei Suponev. In the picture, she has one of the leading roles, which she perfectly played.
It should be noted that each of the actors involved in the series play under the names with which they live in ordinary life, that is, under real ones. And each series has its own, completely independent storyline.
"The moral of this fable is this ..."
Disclosure of crimes in the variety presented to the viewer - from ordinary theft to a much more serious murder, ”shows the series“ Kulagin and Partners ”. Actors - Alexander Kulyamin, Olga Khokhlova, Alexander Bobrov, Julia Vaishnur, Dmitry Mikhin and others - very plausibly reproduced a variety of life situations that can happen to any person.
A voice-overs, like planning a movie story, is conducted on behalf of Leonid Kulagin. The main characters in different series are witnesses for some business, agency clients, its employees. As has historically been the case, according to the genre of such a cinematic story, its author at the end of each series sums up a peculiar result, in which morality necessarily lies.
Watching this series or not watching is a personal matter for every potential viewer. But if you want to make sure that justice still exists, you can turn on your TV and dive into the wonderful world of cinema for a couple of episodes.
