How to become a Russian? The answer to this question is known to the actors of the new sitcom from the channel "STS", the premiere of which was held in 2015. Only 20 episodes were enough for the American Alex Wilson to finally cut and sort out the complicated Russian humor. Who played the main roles in the comedy series "How did I become a Russian" and will it continue?

How to become Russian, or a short story of the new series

The protagonist of the series is an American named Alex. He works as a journalist in the famous American Post. Shortly before the events described in the film, Alex wrote an unmasking article about American politics. To protect himself, he was forced to leave the States for a while.

Boss Alex Wilson sends a young man with a business trip to Russia. Wilson obeyed the order, but from the first day of his stay in the new country he expected a dirty trick from the locals. The thing is that he was a hostage to the generally accepted stereotypes. With the development of the storyline, Wilson gets rid of the established standards and tells his countrymen not only how to become Russian, but also about the strengths and weaknesses of this people.

Critics appreciated the new project of the television channel "STS", filled with humor and funny plot twists. In addition, TV viewers and reviewers liked the angle of view, under which all events were considered: the creators of the project did not try to ridicule the American - rather, they modeled situations in which Russian viewers could laugh at themselves.

Will the continuation of the film be made, the producers of the series have not yet been informed.

"How I became a Russian": actors. Mateusz Damencky as Alex Wilson

On the role of an American journalist, Pole Mateusz Damencki was invited. The series "How I became a Russian" became the second Russian project, in which the Polish actor took part.

Mateusz was born in May 1881 in Warsaw. His family has been associated with theatrical art for generations. When Damnetskii graduated from high school, he decided to continue the acting dynasty and entered the Warsaw Theater Academy. Then the young actor served in many metropolitan theaters.

Since 1993 Mateusz has been shooting in Polish films and TV shows. In 1997, Damnetsky was even able to light up in the American vampire series "Clan". But this project did not last long. And in 2000, the actor tried himself in Russian cinema, playing in the historical film of Alexander Proshkin "Russian rebellion."

Mateusz was easy to get used to the image of a biased American, because in Poland itself the attitude to Russian culture is about the same. Perhaps this is justified by the choice of the producers of the sitcom in favor of the Polish artist.

A special breakthrough for the girl was the main role in the Russian thriller by Anton Megerdichev "The Dark World". The picture was commercially successful. However, in the second part the girl was not invited, because the director changed the project. But Ivanova won a major role in another project - a fantastic action movie "August. Eighth ". Recently, Svetlana is increasingly participating in television projects.

Sergei Chirkov as Roman
