The basis of a dramatic multi-sieuled film, the action of which unfolds in Moscow in 1918, was legally the facts from these criminal cases, which were investigated after the revolution. In the period when a terrible barditism was followed for post-revolutionary amnesty, bonding and poverty. The main characters of the series "Lord-comrades" Nikolai Varaksin (Alexander Domogarov played) and Peter Sokolov (Vyacheslav Krikunov) is so different in origin, age and life experience, which is naturally disliked between them. However, the "Class Enemies" have to work together.
"When I was invited to take part in the work on the project" Lord-comrades ", I agreed without thinking," says the director of the picture Alexei Rudakov. - Detective, yes still historical, plus a magnificent acting ensemble led by Alexander Domogarov, plus a cool team of professionals is the present directing happiness! "
"My hero is the pre-royal cheek, and here the Soviet power is ideologically unacceptable for him, which calls him to help," Alexander Domogarov explains. - He takes about things, shows people who do not yet know anything and do not know how archives, traces, interrogations, prints, how to predict and analyze acts - and so gradually begins to work on tips. It was very interesting for me. What internal reasons finds my hero to help the Bolsheviks, "all destroyed", including the royal school - one of the world's leading owls on revealing and professionalism? He gradually understands that not everything in this power is bad people - there are both good, and the Bolsheviks have their own ideology, their values and faith. But he is pupil differently, and around people they like others, eat and drink, not to mention the alien views on the world. "
Nikolay Varaksin (Alexander Domogarov played him) and Peter Sokolov (Vyacheslav Krikunov) - "Class Enemies", which have to work together. .
The film was filmed in Moscow, Vladimir, Suzdal and St. Petersburg. For nature with the "historical" filming in Vladimir, Volodarsky Street was chosen, which turned into a provincial town of the 20s of the last century. Several days, the film crew spent in St. Petersburg - the main platform was the courtyard of the Academy of Arts. Removed in the capital - among Moscow episodes, in particular, Lenin's robbery, the investigation of which lead the main characters.
"Naturally, in conditions, when we take off in a modern city, the eaten viewer can notice something. But we try to meet the historical truth, "Rudakov says. - The most difficult thing was to create a genuine historical atmosphere, find corners not touched in these cities. The most difficult thing was to do in Moscow, where modernity climbs from all the cracks. Here, the inventiveness of our artists led by Oleg Uhukov came to the rescue. The signs of modernity by fences, burlap, carts, barrels, baskets, buns are closed.
The actor Viktor The lower house most liked to work in Suzdal: "Suzdal is real Russia, as in Pushkin," here is a Russian spirit, here Russia smells like. " The air is stunning, the people are quiet, calm. In Moscow - Permanent Gul. And in Suzdal, and even in Vladimir, which is only 180 km from Moscow, much calmer, and less cars. "
"My hero is the pro Profi of the royal cheek, and here came the ideologically unacceptable Soviet power for him, which calls him to the rescue," says Alexander Domogarov. .
In the film there are many verses and dangerous tricks. Alexander Domogarov decided to fulfill them without the help of cascaders. In one scene, his hero is locked in a barn, which then ignites. The artist heroically played the episode in the Clubs of Ugly Smoke, until the team "Stop! Shot! ". Fortunately, all dangerous episodes removed without excesses and injuries.
The working title of the film was the "villain", but with this name the shooting group chased the evil rock. It was worth choosing for filming a beautifully slapped road in a frosty day, as the next morning, the thaw began, everything melted, and as a result everything was transferred. And only when the picture was renamed the "Lord-comrades", the misadventures of the kinogroup ceased.
