Among the huge number of series - short and long - about the work of the police and the services adjacent to them, one stands out. The actors of Pyatnitsky embodied on the screen a story in which workers' affairs were closely intertwined with personal and public ones. A new thirty-part picture about the life of the internal affairs department of one of the districts of the capital of Russia - Moscow. The premiere of the series took place five years ago, on November 7, 2011.
The storyline of the series
Irina Zimina (this character was embodied on the screen by actress Victoria Tarasova) - a lieutenant colonel, at the end of the picture she is awarded the rank of colonel - is in the center of a completely new, but no less large-scale project of the NTV channel, the Pyatnitsky series. This is the same head of the police department, which became known throughout the country, and where Glukharev worked.
All the same, her every working day is filled with a cycle of working and everyday problems, which tend not to end. She selflessly fights with various vices of her subordinates (most often - this is their loyal and long-term love of strong drinks), carefully monitors the order and compliance with all standards and rules. Zimina is trying to keep everything under control.
In the center of events
To keep the department in tight rein, Irina Zimina takes too much active part in everything related to the most diverse cases of her colleagues. She is especially passionate about the problems and behavior of her inner circle. For example, Zimina is very attentive to the situation that has developed in the new head of the inquiry department. She spun a very vivid affair with one of the operatives. The actors of Pyatnitsky very competently played this story.
Irina Sergeyevna cannot afford not to keep an eye on the cunning and rogue precinct, two patrolmen, the juvenile inspector.
The actors of Pyatnitsky also played the chief of the public security police, smart and quick-witted investigators, of whom there were three. They embodied on the screen even the head of the police district, Major General Zakharov.
A new film or still a sequel?
At first - in the first episodes - it may seem to viewers that Pyatnitsky (the actors and the roles they played, showed the life of the Russian police as if from the inside) is a logical continuation of the Capercaillie, whose characters they have known for a very long time. But no. Despite some similarities, this series is a completely new and no less interesting project. Although really, in some ways, probably, they are similar: Zimina is still the same, and the department is the same.
And still the actors of Pyatnitsky played a completely new story. The team of the creators of the series is new, with a huge reserve of enthusiasm. And the style of this thirty-two-part picture is completely different: it has the effect of torn shooting (as TV people call it), and the editing is very dynamic and modern. When filming The Capercaillie, then, basically one episode was dedicated to a single story, to one incident in the life of department employees. And in this series throughout all series there is one end-to-end storyline. Pyatnitsky is a team series built like a real police drama.
New chapters on police life
Since 2011, he kept in suspense the multimillion-dollar army of spectators at the blue screens of the spin-offs of the grouse trilogy Pyatnitsky. The actors and the roles they played were completely different than in Glukhara. This picture was shot not by season but by chapter. And four of them have already been presented to the court of detective detectives. We will deal with the heroes.
So, the authorities and his retinue. Colonel Irina Sergeyevna Zimina (it was already mentioned just above). She began her work with the rank of lieutenant, but thanks to her honesty, intelligence and quick wit, she grew to the colonel. She is raising her son Sasha alone. Irina has a good friend Elena Izmailova, who is always overwhelmed with work, but is glad about it. Lena's favorite person was the senior operative, Major Roman Savitsky (actor Andrei Soroka). The couple is doing well, and only one thing overshadows their happiness: Elena cannot have children.
Friends forever!
Andrei Soroka played a very interesting character, almost an ideal of female dreams. The novel is a fairly balanced man, and also smart. He is always ready to get his best friend Pasha Tkachev out of any trouble, who differs from others in his sharp explosive character.
A new actor of the Pyatnitsky series, Dmitry Mazurov, is entering the stage . His hero Paul loves women. Those, in turn, love him. Naturally, Tkachev does his best to avoid serious relationships and obligations until he meets Ekaterina Rusakova, inspector for minors (actress Victoria Gerasimova). It is this girl who radically changes his ideas about life.
Local heroes
There are several more characters that cannot be ignored. The head of the IOB Vadim Klimov is a very disciplined, strict, correct man. He has some problems in his personal life, because of which he divorces his wife (she wants to move and take away their daughter). PPP employee Dmitry Isaev. Honest, decent guy. Himself brings up a daughter, besides surrounds the care of a blind brother. To have enough money in the family, he works as a taxi driver at night.
Another “eagle” is a local star, a young investigator Konstantin Schukin. He is very smart and disciplined. Thanks to his work in the police department, the crime detection rates are quite high. Isaev’s friend and partner is Oleg Tereshchenko. In his life there are many complex and insoluble problems, some salvation from which he finds in his work.
Shchukin is in love with senior lieutenant of justice Victoria - a timid and tender girl, but as if having an iron core inside. And the investigator Anatoly Zhigaev, who is a good-natured merry fellow and a very good, responsible employee, likes to make fun of Vika.
In this picture, it is precisely thanks to such characters that people respect the representatives of the law. The picture shows that, despite the problems and temptations, the guys in uniform are loyal to the profession in the first place.
