Ekaterina Maksimova ("Galatea"), Konstantin Zaklinsky ("Fuete"), Gali Abaidulov ("Perikola") in the ballet film by Alexander Belinsky "Chaplinian". “This film is to Chaplin’s music, based on Chaplin’s works, but not about Chaplin,” says director Alexander Belinsky. The hero of the picture is a “little” man, a variety artist, an antihero – a dictator ruling in one fictional state. Nowhere did we quote Chaplin’s great films, we wanted to preserve his spirit, his laughter, his touch, his characters and even his attributes and locations. In our work, we adhered to the main theme of Chaplin’s work – sympathy for the “little” person and tried to express this main idea by means of modern and classical choreography. The role of the diva variety diva and the favorite of the dictator in this film was performed by the famous ballerina Ekaterina Maksimova.Such character has not yet been among the stage and screen creations of the ballerina. But it is the TV screen that is especially generous with surprises and it is in the TV ballets that the still unknown facets of Maximova’s unique talent are revealed every time so unexpectedly. Courage and the ability to take risks in search of the new has always distinguished the work of Vladimir Vasiliev. The outstanding dancer and choreographer increasingly turns to directing and creating holistic artistic works. Now the same creative group "Anyuta", the same team of like-minded people united in the work on "Chapliniana". Gali Abaidulov, still a student who performed one of the main parts in Vasilyev’s Chekhov ballet masterpiece, plays two roles at once in Chaplinian – the all-powerful Dictator and the dreamer – the clown, on the confrontation of which the plot of the film is built. The name of Abaidulov is associated even with the birth of a new role - "artist of television ballet." "Chaplinian" - the thesis of Abaidulov, a graduate of the course Vasiliev and Maximova choreographer of GITIS. This is a very rare combination - co-creation in one film teachers and students. close

The 1930s and 1940s were the period when Soviet cinema produced historical heroic films. The country needed heroes with high ideals, capable of rallying the people before a great threat and entrusting their lives to strong leaders. That is why at this time they filmed Minin and Pozharsky, Alexander Nevsky, Admiral Nakhimov, Bogdan Khmelnitsky and Peter I.
Heroic past of Russia
The film “Minin and Pozharsky”, directed by Mikhail Doller and Vsevolod Pudovkin, tells about one of the most dramatic periods in Russian history: the very existence of the Russian state was threatened. In the autumn of 1610, when the Polish army deceived into the Kremlin, the butcher-merchant Kuzma Minin (Alexander Khanov) toured the Russian villages, which lie in ruin. Being a member of the Alyabievsk People’s Militia, he sees how scattered and few are the opponents of False Dmitry II and how despicable and dangerous it is to leave Mother Russia to the flow and plunder.
At the same time, Dmitry Pozharsky (Boris Livanov), a prince of the Suzdal family, is fighting the enemy in the first Nizhny Novgorod militia, which fails because of betrayal at the very top. The crushing defeat because of the atamans Zarutsky, Trubetsky (Sergei Komarov) and Lyapunov only in the hands of Khodkevich (Anatoly Goryunov), Orlov (Lev Sverdlin) and the Polish king Sigismund III (Mikhail Astangov).
In the summer of 1611, Minin reaches Nizhny Novgorod, finds Pozharsky and delivers a fiery speech, which is designed to assemble a new militia and drive the Russian enemy from the ground. All the gathered cheerfully supported the idea and chose the merchant as the leader, but money was needed for the uniform and maintenance of the whole army, which nobody carried. Then Kuzma cheated, offering to appoint a ransom for the wives of eminent citizens, after which the rich Nizhny Novgorod paid money, as long as their noble relatives were not taken into bondage.
The second militia was recruited and moved to Moscow, where in August 1612 the interventionists were defeated on the head. To prevent the expulsion of the Poles from the country, the traitors send to the Fireman, who managed to neutralize, otherwise it is unknown how history would have turned. The finale of the film has long been known from history books. The film is distinguished by meticulous adherence to historical facts, so unexpected directorial moves were not supposed here.
Epic sweep in severe conditions
The film was shot at a difficult time, so the artistic means available to directors and operators were extremely poor. However, they managed to make a large-scale film, which involved hundreds of extras for battle scenes. The most significant episodes are accompanied by choral singing and orchestral music. There was nothing to build and decorate expensive pavilions or restore the appearance of Moscow in the early 17th century, so most of the scenes in the capital were filmed in Rostov the Great.
For the contribution to the development of Soviet cinema and the correct interpretation of events, the directors of the film Minin and Pozharsky were awarded the Stalin Prize of the I degree. close
