The modern version of the "Young Guard" novel, which submitted to the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory, introduced - and insist on this screenwriters - a genuine look at the sale in Krasnodone.
Not an adaption, but a genuine story
The series "Young Guard" is a completely new look at one of the most dramatic pages of the Great Patriotic War. Director Leonid Plyskin decided to make not the adaptation of the novel by Alexander Fadeeva, but add real historical certificates and documents to the picture. "Our film is not a remake of the legendary picture of Sergei Gerasimov and not the screening of Roman Fadeev," says Leonid. - The path of young guidance is a legend that hooked up myths and speculation. We present our gaze on their feat, based on genuine historical material. " In order to find out who was the leader of the organization of young underground anti-fascists of Krasnodon and actually betrayed the "Young Guard", we were associated with the relatives and witnesses of the events that took place during the war in the Donbas, and some of their stories were included in the script. "
In fact, for five years of war in the occupied territories there were many similar underground organizations. But the most famous was "Young Guard". And the Writer Anna Suvorov tried to show the heroism of young guys. "Our film is a modern look at the events in Krasnodone during the Great Patriotic War. But, of course, in this artistic work, there were mainly collective images of young children of antifascist underground workers. "

How actors were gaining in images of their real prototypes
This is a story about war and childhood, about young guys from 12 to 22 years old who are not afraid of death. Casting on the main role lasted for a very long time. From young actors required a very strong emotional charge. Those who could not show this on the casting immediately dug. "Some heroes, for example, the performer of the role of Sergei Tulenina Yuri Borisov, we found three days before the filming. And he even outwardly turned out to be very similar to his hero, so in one of the staff, Yuri looks at the photo of the real Sergey Tyulenina, and this portrait similarity is obviously, it is divided from a Womanhit director. "Katia Spitz, who played the love Shevtsov, treated with a very reverent role and played thinly, on the verge."
"I used to be faced with the prototypes," Catherine says. "It is for this reason that I revised Gerasimov's film to be as much as possible on Inna Makarov in the image of Luba. I do not want to talk about that I adopted the techniques of the Great Artist. My Lyuba is different: a good analyst knows how to shoot, can poison a person, deftly deceives. Compare my anyone with the heroine of the novel or the film does not make sense. " The main villain in the film was played by Alexey Vote. The heroes of Leshi had a real prototype - a musician, a philosopher and a killer. To enter the role, the actor specially learned German and learned to play the violin.

Stanitsa Krasnodonetskaya performed the role of Krasnodon
The film wanted to shoot in Krasnodone (Ukraine, Lugansk region), precisely where events actually unfolded. But when the film crew went back in March last year, the director was detained at the border. As a result, they decided to remove nearby, in the Rostov region, quite close to real places in order to preserve their spirit and atmosphere. One of these places was Stanitsa Krasnodonetskaya. Also, the film was filmed in Novocherkassk and Belaya Kalitva, and several scenes - in Moscow on Mosfilm.
In Novocherkassk, removed most of the mass scenes of the film. The creators of the film attracted the fact that there are a lot of streets and houses in the city, which practically did not change over the past half century, as if "time was frozen in this city." For example, the building of the German Exchange, which explodes the young guards, was located in the courtyard of the local infectious hospital. The house in which childhood and the youth of the main character of the film Oleg Koshevoy passed, was located in the House-Museum named after Krylov. Batal scenes were filmed in the floodplain of the river Tuzlov, urban grove and in the old historical regions of Novocherkasska.

Natural cataclysms and not only
Shooting turned out heavy. Every day the film crew faced with some obstacles. On the day, when the tank columns should be removed, the strongest hurricane was hit by the Rostov region for 15 years. Several tanks were bogged down in the swamp, and they were pulled out three days. Then the motorcycle exploded under one of the actors. On the day, when they shot the scene of execution, there was a record low temperature. The actors starred half-colors and barefoot in the snow. "Everyone resisted the shooting, but it helped. Through the struggle, the real and not talked, the director of the film Leonid Plyskin says through resistance. - Many tricks actors did themselves, for example, chase on motorcycles on ravines and bouanes. In the scenes of racing and shootout on horseback, the actors also "rushed" in the frame for themselves, and only when it was already dangerous, stiders worked. "
