June 6 marked the 225th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. And, of course, many projects will be devoted to this not only in cinema, but also on television: the online marathon #Pushkin225 was launched on the VGTRK platforms, Sarik Andreasyan filmed “Eugene Onegin” and Channel One is preparing a series complete. about our everything. And the main role, surprisingly, is not played by Sergei Bezrukov.
The project, called “Natalie and Alexander,” will ignore the author’s Decembrist hobbies, but will show his love story and the details of his relationship with his muse Natalya Goncharova.
In the first shots provided by Channel One, many famous actors are recognized: Sergei Garmash, reminiscent of Abram Hannibal, Pushkin’s uncle, and the languid Alexandra Rebenok, and the mysterious Polina Aug, and Ilya Del in the image of Anton Delvig and Kirill. Kyaro in the image of Wilhelm Kuchelbecker.
At the same time, the main roles, which is especially valuable, were assigned to actors of minor roles unknown to the general public: Alexander Zaryadin (“Paradise Corner”, “Mosgaz”, “Fizruk”) and Ksenia Traister ( “Food Block”, “Flying Boat”). There is hope that this particular series will become a boost and an opportunity for them (as was the case with the young stars of the crime saga “The Boy’s Word. Blood on the Asphalt”) for a great race.
“Our story is the love story of Natalia Goncharova and Alexander Pushkin,” explain the creators of the project. – A brief period of life that became the happiest and… Fatal for them. The main character of this story is a woman: wife, mother, muse, social diva – Natalya Nikolaevna Goncharova. Love, happiness, betrayal, despair and passion. Like any girl, Natalie dreamed of simple human happiness, but life wanted her to be the wife and muse of a genius.
The creators of the project will show the poet’s meeting with Emperor Alexander I, to whom he dedicated poems, and a duel with his friend Kükhlya, and dances and parties that the classicist respected. Filming will take place not only in Moscow and the Moscow region, but also in important locations for Pushkin in St. Petersburg. The series “Natalie and Alexander” will appear on Channel One in the next television season.
