"Viva, midshipmen!": Actors and roles

In the movie "Vivat, Midshipmen!" Actors continued the storyline of the previous film entitled "Midshipmen, forward!". The subsequent screen versions of the story of the brave trio from the navigational school did not become very popular, but there is something to see in this work, and Svetlana Druzhinina.

Making a movie

The permanent creator of the entire series of films about midshipmen is Svetlana Druzhinina. She managed to become one of the few well-known female directors. And her paintings enjoy remarkable success: "Princess of the circus", "Secrets of palace coups" and, of course, "Midshipmen, forward!". In the 90's. She began filming the continuation of the first film. So the tape "Vivat, midshipmen!" Appeared on the light.

Actors in the new project basically moved from the first part of the trilogy. Anatoly Mukasei, the husband of Svetlana Sergeyevna, again worked behind the camera.

As in the first part, in the movie "Viva, midshipmen!" Music hits, created by Victor Lebedev, were heard.

The premiere of the next film by Druzhinin was scheduled for August 19, 1991. But the historical events (August putsch) prevented the author from presenting the tape - it was shown only on August 31.

"Viva, midshipmen": actors and roles. Dmitry Kharatyan as Korsak

The name of Dmitry Kharatyan is now known to almost everyone. And for this the actor should say thank you to Svetlana Druzhinina. Before filming in the "Gardemarines" Kharatyan, of course, was filming in the cinema, but now nobody remembers these films: "Rally", "Green van", "Speed" - these tapes are not even shown on TV today.

But the role of Alesha Korsak made the actor truly popular at once for several generations of viewers. Therefore Kharatyan diligently continued to act in all the continuations of this story, including the film "Viva, Midshipmen!".

Actors of leading roles in general remained in the same composition. Alexei Korsak turned from a cadet navigatorskoy school into a confidant of Chancellor Bestuzhev. And in the second part he will be charged with an impartial mission to spy on his friends when they go to meet the future wife of Peter II at the Russian border.

The film "Viva, midshipmen": actors and roles. Sergey Zhigunov as Alexander Belov

Sergei Zhigunov, like Kharatyan, did not use special popularity prior to cooperation with Druzhinin. In his piggy bank was perhaps that the famous film "Two Hussars", in which he starred along with Oleg Yankovsky, Alexander Abdulov and many other stars. All other works did not affect the career of Sergei in any way.

Svetlana Druzhinina originally intended to take Oleg Belov as Oleg Menshikov. But the young actor at that time had already acted in several films, so he could not break out onto the set for Druzhinin. It was necessary to take on this role Zhigunova, but the director did not arrange his low hoarse voice, so he voiced the character anyway Menshikov. And Alexander Domogarov gave his voice to Belov in the film "Viva, midshipmen!".

Actors Zhigunov and Vladimir Shevelkov did not get along with Svetlana, so the performer role of Nikita Olenev in the second part was replaced by Mikhail Mamaev. Sergey Zhigunov left the project after the release of the second part of the trilogy.

Mikhail Mamaev as Nikita

The actors of the movie "Viva, midshipmen!" Are quite famous, so Olenev's role was to find a worthy candidate. However, Druzhinina ventured and gave this role to the little-known Mamayev, who at that time starred in only two films: "Short Game" and "The Jester".

Nikita Olenev in the second part, finally, found himself a lover. And not anyhow, but the very Friderika Anhalt-Zerbstskaya - the future Empress Catherine II. Young people liked each other at first sight. Then Nikita Olenev did everything possible and impossible to bring the princess to Petersburg. But their novel was never meant to end with a happy ending.

Mikhail Mamaev did not make a stunning career in the cinema after the "Masons". In 1992, he played a major role in the film "Weekend with the murderer," and then played only episodic roles. In 2000, Druzhinina invited the actor to his multi-series project "Secrets of palace coups" for the role of Alexander Buturlin. Recently Mamayev is removed more often, giving preference to serials.

Other performers of roles

In the film "Viva, Midshipmen!" Actors Lyudmila Gurchenko and Vladimir Soshalsky played the parents of Catherine II. And Gurchenko got the role of the dissolute duchess Johanna Anhalt-Zerbst, who went down in history as a spender and a spy, which the Empress Elizabeth expelled from the country in disgrace.

Mikhail Boyarsky appeared in the familiar role of Chevalier de Brilli. However, this time he switched from Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya to the seduction of Johann in order to obtain secret information.

Singer Christine Orbakaite got the role of the young princess Fike Anhalt-Zerbst.
