Erast Petrovich Fandorin is a hereditary nobleman who lost his parents by the age of 19. The orphan not only managed to survive, but also made an enviable career. Viewers of the State Councilor get acquainted with the protagonist already at the time when he holds the post of official of special commissions, who executes the orders of the governor-general of Moscow. The main character is intelligent, has many useful talents, among which is the ability to uncover the most intricate crimes.

Erast Petrovich in his performance turned out to be an intellectual with the manners of a true prince, a man of modest and elegant. Some viewers reproach Menshikov for not being able to convey the energy inherent in the book prototype of his character. Others believe that he turned out to be the best official Fandorin. As you know, other novels of Boris Akunin, Erast Petrovich and Menshikov were already screened and Beroev and Noskov were already playing. "The Barber of Siberia", "Burnt by the Sun", "Pokrovsky Gates" - other famous films with Oleg's participation.

Nikita Mikhalkov and his hero

"State Councilor" is a film starred by Nikita Mikhalkov, who embodied the image of Gleb Pozharsky. The character of the famous artist is a clever careerist, who achieves success by any means. A person who has taken all the political searches to his hand, for climbing up the career ladder, often resorting to illegal methods, easily sacrificing people. A true person to see him is almost impossible, Pozharsky deftly changes his manner of behavior depending on the situation.

It's no secret that the success of the film largely depends on what actors play in it. "State Counselor" - a detective in which one of the most interesting roles went to Nikita Mikhalkov. It is known that the star of the national cinema was significantly redesigned script, Mikhalkov personally made changes to the dialogues in which his character participates. Also, the actor was not embarrassed by the fact that the bookish Gleb Pozharsky was significantly younger than him. Nikita Sergeyevich was able to perfectly convey the cynicism and ruthlessness of his hero, to show his inherent "barbarity".

Who played the terrorist Green

Who else from famous actors decorated with his presence the film "State Counselor"? Konstantin Khabensky - a man who received the role of the mysterious terrorist Green, the head of "BG".

Konstantin Khabensky also remarkably managed to convey the image of his hero, like other actors. "State Counselor" is a detective who would not have turned out so interesting without his Green. Khabensky was able to emphasize the strength of the spirit of his character, his willingness to sacrifice himself for the sake of the goal.
