According to the scenario, the famous revolutionary is as if applied throughout the entire series. Trotsky in his interview will in detail tells the journalist - Maxim Matveyev played him - his destiny.
"Everything that the audience sees in the film, happened in reality. Artistic fiction is related only to dialogues and conversations. How exactly the heroes said, discussing anything, it was already invented by Writer Oleg Malovichko, partly I and our creative band. Trotsky - the figure is ambiguous, it can be called differently. Although, of course, people are not born by tyrants, the child does not know who he will. The difficulty for us was to understand the life of Trotsky and understand what circumstances were influenced by him, "says the producer of the film Alexander Tsecalo.
Evgenia's selection of Lenin's role could seem unusual, but the actor coped perfectly
Special attention The creators of the series have shown important details of the revolutionary life. For example, the stories of the transformation of the Lovet Bronstein in the Lion Trotsky. After reference in the Irkutsk region, Bronstein takes the surname of his ward. This man is Nikolai Trotsky - largely determined the image of the revolutionary thoughts. It was after reference that Trotsky appears confidence that the masses can only be controlled through violence and fear.
When creating a cinema of Trotsky, the authors of the series wanted to give a revolutionary a fair share of demonism. And if you remember other well-known films about the events of those times and their participants, it can be said that Konstantin Khabensky got a bright and very modern image.
"We conceived the image of Trotsky as a rock star. He knew how to own a crowd, quite like the audience during the concert. He could reary of the regiment of deserters, convinced in his truth and make anyone anyone. He looked like a star - all tightened into black skin with minor splashes of red. Fascinating spectacle! " - explains Writer Oleg Malovichko.

"The revolutionar of Martov wrote:" Trotsky's speech, like molten metal. " He was a speaker fantastic! Trotsky did not just talk to the people: he was engaged in crowd with verbal sex. Rock-star, and in the form of his own, and in essence, "adds Alexander Tsekalo.
Heroes of Khabensky and Olga Sutulova (she played Natalia Sedov - the second wife of Trotsky) live on the screen more than forty years. According to the actor, playing young Trotsky was more difficult than sixty years old. "In the age role you can cover yourself with grima, gray hair. And in the on-screen youth, you will not do anything, it is much more difficult to express yourself, trying to exist in a state of youthful maximalism. There's a case not in posture and not in gestures, but in the view. In the look of the Volcchonka, who himself does not yet understand what the road he comes out, "says the actor.
Olga Soullova played Natalia Sedov, one of the four women who had a significant impact on Trotsky's fate. Heroine Olga together with the hero of Khabensky lives on the screen more than forty years
As you know, behind the back of every great man is a great woman. That is why women's images are also very important in the picture. "We relied only for documented stories," says Writer Oleg Malovichko. - Trotsky was lucky - with him there were great women: his official wife Alexander Sokolovskaya, Natalia Sedov, Frida Kalo and Larisa Reisner. Having stopped at three muses, we tried not to retreat from the historical truth. "
If the spectators see the ruthless man in black skin in the frame, then behind the scenes the creators of the series were seen by Konstantin Khabensky, endowed with not only acting talent, but also typical human weaknesses. The actor was very cold when he flew to Mexico. But by coincidence, the hoarse voice fits perfectly into the role, because in Mexico, Habensky was already playing elderly Trotsky.
Maxim Matvhev played Canadian publicist Frank Jackson, who Trotsky gives an interview confession that became a political will of the revolutionary
"Mexico is somewhat on the elevation. My ears laid, I didn't hear almost nothing, I communicated with the actors on the lips. Sometimes I treated in the bridge so loudly that it spoiled a pure sound. The entire shooting week happened under crackle, "recalls Konstantin.
Also, the actor says that in everything he pushed out from Trotsky's outrageousness. In clothing, in the figures of speech.
"I do not attract anything in the Trotsky-man," says Khabensky. - But he is a major figure of the past century. We tried for our part, very subjective, to figure out what happened a hundred years ago. We show how Trotsky entered into force, as he was drunk and looked around what was happening around, as he beat his forehead about the walls, performed the discovery and how he gradually came to know that he became a politician ... big, terrible.
