"Midshipmen, forward!": The actors of the mini-series then and today

Russians very much like to talk about the spirituality of their people, and as an illustrative example of this very spirituality they recall such masterpieces of Soviet cinema. The latter was very pleased with the viewers of that time, and for modern filmmaking it became a real role model.

Nostalgia for the past

The film "Midshipmen, forward!", Whose actors are still associated with this picture by the older generation, was once very popular. When mentioning only the name of the picture, the audience of the older generation begins to hum the theme song, hiding tears of nostalgia. Yes, before the movie was very emotional and deep, and special effects were an addition to the plot, and not vice versa. Today, the standards of cinema dictate Hollywood, which focuses on box office, and not the quality of the product. Many are interested in what actors of the movie "Midshipmen, forward!" Are doing now, and this article will just shed light on this completely mysterious question.

Belov, Zhigunov and the beautiful nurse

Sergei Zhigunov, who played the role of Alexander Belov, the younger generation is better known as producer Maxim Shatalin from the series "My Fair Nanny." Of course, in the filmography of the actor, this series is not the only one, but certainly the most popular one after the painting "The Midshipmen, Go!" Actors are often forced to perform very average dramatic roles, which, however, bring them very big popularity And a very good fee. This happened with Maxim Shatalin. In addition to "Nanny", Zhigunov also appeared in such projects as "Once Upon a Time in Rostov", "Ten Winters" and "New Earth", but the youth persistently associate him with a successful producer, in love with the merry and sincere nanny from Mariupol. More recently, Zhigunov worked in the "Secret of the Four Princesses" side by side with Kristina Orbakaite, and at the moment is taking part in the filming of the new series "Professional."

Korsak, Haratyan and unsuccessful projects

Performing the role of Alexei Korsak, Dmitry Kharatyan, got hold of much more filmography than his colleague Sergei Zhigunov. However, if the actors and roles were very vivid and characteristic in the film "Midshipmen, forward!", Then it is possible to say this about most other roles of Kharatyan with great reserve. In 2007 Kharatyan became a People's Artist of Russia. He did not stop there, inspired by the success of all parts of the movie "Midshipmen, forward!". Actors often "get stuck" on the same image, especially if this image brought them great success. Fortunately, this did not happen to Dmitri Kharatyan. His filmography totals as many as 119 paintings, among them the following: "Queen Margot", "Atlantis", "Another Life", "Aurora" and others. Unfortunately, many of these projects were unsuccessful, as evidenced by their ratings and reviews. At the moment, Dmitri Kharatyan does not take part in the shootings and while he is spending time with the beautiful wife and child.

Olenev, Shevelkov and a finger in the sky

Vladimir Shevelkov, who played the prince Nikita Olenev, did not make himself a big filmography. His track record amounts to only 47 paintings, which even by the standards of Russian cinema is not a large number. It is unlikely that the creators of the painting "Midshipmen, forward!" - actors, writers or even doubles - doubted their own successful career after working on such a film. But fate decreed otherwise. Some actors are not allowed to read the script carefully, some hope for a chance, and sometimes they even poke a finger at the sky, just to work on some picture. Because of the poor quality of Russian cinema, it's difficult to get a finger into a successful project, and it did not happen for Shevelkov. More or less successful projects Shevelkov - a mini-series "Hearts of Three" and a feature-length film "Cherry Nights." With all the rest of Vladimir, unfortunately, completely unlucky. Who knows - maybe in his old age he will "shoot" a good dramatic role, making his fans happy. Now it remains only to hope.

Cult actors and cult roles

Of course, in "Midshipmen" also played other, no less famous actors. For example, the omnipresent Michael Boyarsky made his invaluable contribution to the creative value of the picture, having played the role of Chevalier de Brilli. Do not forget about the women who took part in the filming of the immortal film "Midshipmen, forward!". Actress Tatyana Lutaeva still admires the audience with her role as the beautiful Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya. The image of her heroine is played so well that it does not make one doubt a single remark. For some male viewers, it is the ideal of feminine nobility, fragility and beauty, even today, when the western ideals of beauty have flooded the shop windows and the covers of popular magazines. Perhaps someday Russian cinema will return to the fine ideals of Soviet cinema and discard the standards imposed by Hollywood, and now it is only necessary to nostalgize and revise all three parts of the "Midshipmen".
