The filming of the 16-series project "The Last Journalist's Article" began in St. Petersburg in early August. In the center of history is a journalist whose professional curiosity puts him on the edge of starvation.
A successful journalist of the key Pskov newspaper, Oleg Verkhovtsev, learning that a terrible murder has occurred in the city, decides to write an article about criminals who are sentenced to death are feeling. While hunting for resonant material, he decides on a desperate act - to take the fall to be on death row.
The performer of the lead role Dmitry Palamarchuk described his character as follows:
– My hero is absolutely honest. It is his honesty and his purposefulness that lead to quite dramatic events in his life. This is an idealist, fighting for the truth, for people to know it. Oftentimes because of this, he does not notice those things that should be paid attention. There is a serious conflict between his family and work. In his purposeful movement, he loses touch with his family, and he later regrets for a long time. Idealism is a thing that is lost in our time. I am not going to dissemble, we acquire cynicism. Sometimes you have to make a deal with your conscience. Trying to become a man who believes in idealism, who does not bend - the task for me is interesting.
The project covers the time at the turn of the epoch – Perestroyka and then Russia in the first half of the 90`s. In the historical perspective, this is not a very distant period, and most of the population of the country remembers it rather well. This is all the cunning^ inaccurate details can spoil the whole impression of the film:
- The survivors who remember the 30s are insignificant, the war is remembered by few ones, only the old people remember the 50s, and almost all remember the 80s, the whole middle generation is reflecting on the reliability of the series's rehearsal Evgeny Sologalov. - And each person has his own personal memory, his childhood fragrance. And when a person watches a movie, he compares his scent, his picture with the picture on the screen. It is necessary that the maximum number of people recognize and say: "Yes, that's right." It is necessary that as much as possible the people looked and said: "Exactly, I had the same haircut! Exactly, I also stained in the 80's.
