The series "Poor Nastya": actors and roles, the plot

The series "Poor Nastya" is one of the most successful costume TV projects of the early 2000s. Telenovel, narrating about the golden age of Russian culture, has gained immense popularity thanks to the original idea, the magnificent actors' play, and also the beautiful soundtrack.

The image of Anna Platonova

The main role was played by the famous actress Elena Korikova. She became famous in the mid-1990s after playing the role of Lisa Muromskaya in the film "The Young Lady-Peasant Woman". The image she created on the screen was so successful that she immediately became one of the most popular actresses.

In the series "Poor Nastya", the actors and roles of which are the subject of this review, the history of the famous Pushkin story was repeated on the contrary. The main heroine turned out to be serf, however this fact is carefully kept secret by her master, who, for only one well-known reason, brought him up a little girl as a noble lady. Elena Korikova beautifully created the image of a simple, kind and trustful girl, who by strange coincidence found herself in such an unusual situation, which caused her a lot of trouble.

Nevertheless, she finds the strength to cope with the difficulties that have piled on her: she boldly confronts her new stern master, defends her dignity and the right to respect before Prince Repnin. Most moviegoers Anna liked and fell in love precisely for her sincerity, directness and firmness of character.

Prince Repnin

Famous Russian actor Peter Krasilov embodied on the screen an image of the romantic and at the same time brave Prince Repnin. This character was conceived as a kind of antipode to his close friend - Vladimir Corfu, who in the first part of the series turns out to be quite a harsh and even cruel man. The prince fell in love with Anna, knowing nothing of her origins, and revealing the terrible secret was a real blow to him.

Here it should be noted that Peter Krasilov coped with his role perfectly well: in pairing with Anna, his hero was surprisingly interesting. Misha Repnin, it seemed, experienced the whole range of feelings: from bright hopes and bright love to cruel disappointment; After serious doubts and hesitations, he still finds the strength to accept the bitter truth and in his new impulse even decides to duel with his best friend. In the second part of the series "Poor Nastya" shows us the prince in a slightly different capacity: and having failed to find a common language with Anna, he nevertheless finds his happiness with the charming neighbor - Princess Lisa, who, like him, Has a fairly determined and enterprising character.

Baron Korf

The performer of the main male role in the series "Poor Nastya", Daniil Strakhov, embodied on the screen the image of Baron Vladimir Ivanovich Korf. This hero is, perhaps, the most interesting in the psychological sense. This character is the most ambiguous in the whole film: at first he appears as a noble man, but nevertheless quite severe, severe and even cruel.

Under a plausible pretext, he interfered with the happiness of his friend, rather cruelly treated Anna, constantly upsetting his father with his antics. The more interesting was his further evolution: from a somewhat cynical and selfish man, he literally turns into a tenderly loving hero who is capable of self-sacrifice, disinterested feelings and is ready to risk for the sake of his lady's honor and reputation. However, it should immediately be noted that Vladimir from the very beginning was presented to the audience as a positive hero. In general, he reminds Pechorin - a man who is essentially unkind, honest, but somewhat shabby. Strakhov perfectly conveyed the image of his character on the screen, playing it in the best traditions of the Russian film classics.

Other heroes

Among the other actors in the first place, it is necessary to highlight, of course, the Tsarevich Alexander Nikolayevich, the future emperor of the future, the liberator of peasants from serfdom. In the series "Poor Nastya", whose actors and roles were evenly distributed among young performers and artists of the Soviet school, the image of Prince Andrey Dolgoruky played by Anton Makarsky was also remembered. This character is distinguished by his extraordinary romanticism, which, however, subsequently led to the fact that he himself became entangled in his feelings.

Noteworthy and secondary images, as well as actors in the background, which, however, remember the magnificent performance of venerable actors. Many of the scenes with their participation differ in sparkling fun, humor and positive. That is why such characters as the manager of the main estate (the role played by D. Shevchenko) , the leader of the uyezd nobility (A. Filippenko) so remembered and fell in love with the audience.

Heroines of the second plan

We should also mention other female images in the telenovela. According to the reviews of the audience, Natasha Repnina, the sister of Mikhail, was most fond of and remembered by E. Klimova. The elegance of the heroine, her constant optimism, a lively character, a wonderful sense of humor immediately attracted the attention of the audience. In addition, the actress is extraordinary beautiful, stylish and elegant. Her costumes and appearance became the main decoration of the series.

Many loved Liza Dolgorukaya (the role played by A. Tabanin): the courage of the princess, her determination and perseverance in achieving her goals made her one of the main engines of the plot. In addition, it should be noted the image of the bride Alexander - Princess Mary (played by M. Alexandrova): her kindness, honesty and gullibility fell in love with all the fans of the series.

Features of the plot

The telenovela "Poor Nastya", whose actors and roles were identified and selected with the expectation of historical realities, is distinguished by a rather interesting composition of the narrative composition. Conditionally the whole plot can be divided into two parts: the first 65 series are devoted to a love triangle (Vladimir, Anna, Michael) and the disclosure of the relationship between these three characters. This line is complicated by the fact that the main character continues to be serf, which, of course, keeps the spectator in suspense until the dramatic moment when she, finally, during the duel of Korf and Repnin, received the long-awaited free from the hands of her contradictory master.

Simultaneously, the so-called line in the Winter Palace (the emperor was played by V. Verzhbitsky, the empress - A. Bondarchuk), parallel with the rapid tempo, is associated with the love affairs of the Tsarevich Alexander and his relations with the bride, his parents, and his attempts to somehow find himself under the wise leadership His permanent mentor, the poet V. Zhukovsky (A. Kalyagin).

The second part of the television series

The second part of the series loses its monolithic nature: literally within two series all the ripples of the contradictions, both in the estate of Korf and in the Winter Palace, came to an end. As an extension, an attempt was made to build a new system of relationships between the heroes in return for the old. This applies to both major and minor heroes. Vladimir tries to establish relations with Anna, Misha finds herself a new lover, and Alexander, who has matured, tries to correct the mistakes of his turbulent youth, saving his former favorite from the wrath of the emperor.

This love line is supplemented by a rather sinister story in the family of Dolgoruky (roles played by E. Vitorgan - head of the family, O. Ostroumov - his wife, L. Kutepova - the youngest daughter of Sophia), in which deception, adultery, murder and poisoning follow one for Others in parallel with the disclosure of terrible family secrets about the illegitimate child and the crimes of the princess. Some fragmentation of the plot, however, did not spoil the impression of viewing such an interesting project as the TV series "Poor Nastya". Actors and roles were considered in this review.
