"Vangelia", a television series. Actors, roles, interesting facts

The Russian television biographical project of the twelve series entitled "Vangelia" was released in 2013 and immediately became an event in the art world. Even before the filming began, the attention of critics and the public was riveted to this work. According to the memories of people close to Vanga, it is known that the Bulgarian healer herself and the seer did not want the film to be shot about her. Despite the fears of colleagues and critics, director Sergei Barchukov decided to take up the implementation of the project "Vangelia". The television series, the actors who have performed the main roles, mystical events and the secrets of the working process to this day arouse public interest.

Create a TV series

To create a reliable story, scriptwriters Vladimir and Tatyana Sotnikov studied a lot of materials about the life of the Bulgarian seer, and also met many people who knew her personally. The premiere of the television film took place on the Israeli Russian-language channel "Nine" on August 25, 2013. In Russia, the TV project started on the First Channel on September 18, 2013, and on September 26 the last series of the film "Vangelia" was shown. The television series, actors and make-up artists were nominated for a prestigious award in the field of television art. It is established by the Russian Association of Film and Television Producers.

"Vangalia" TV series: actors who played the leading roles

In the telefilm, the Bulgarian visionary at various periods of her life was played by five actresses. Kristina Pakarina portrayed Wang in childhood. Daria Otroshko - in the teenage period. It is interesting that before this role, Dasha had no experience in film. Assistant director, seeing her in the tram, found the appearance of the girl suitable for the role and advised to take part in the casting.

Young Vangelia is played by Natalia Nikolaeva, mature - Irina Rakhmanova, and the elderly - Elena Yakovleva. By the centenary of the birth of the Bulgarian clairvoyant, the creation of a television biopic "Vangelia" was timed. The television series, whose actors now remember with warmth of their work in it, could not take place because of the prejudices and mystical aura of the main character. Many actresses simply refused, having learned, about what role there is a speech. Fortunately for the viewer, Yelena Yakovleva does not believe in mysticism, but because of art. She approached the role very responsibly. After studying all the available materials about Vanga's life, Yakovleva was portrayed first and foremost by a woman with a strong character who, despite everything she had experienced, was not embittered and helped people.

Remembering the work on the role, the actress says that it was very interesting to play such a multifaceted personality. The only difficulty was that I had to work with my eyes closed, not being able to visually contact with partners on the frame.

An important character of the series, of course, is the father of the seer - Pandey, which was brilliantly performed by Eugene Knyazev. This actor fell in love with the viewer in the role of Wolf Messing in the 2009 TV series of the same name. Speaking about people who played an important role in Vanga's life, one should not forget her husband - Mitko Gushterev. Fateful meeting with him was not an accident. Vanghelia foresaw it. The role of Mitko was performed by the talented Russian actor Anton Makarsky, who enjoys the viewer's love since the TV series "Poor Nastya". It is interesting that originally Makarsky was approved only for the role of Mitko at a young age. The aging husband of Vangi was supposed to play Eugene Knyazev, but the director decided that Makarsky's talent and acting abilities allow him to reincarnate as an elderly and tired of the burdens of life of the hero.

"Vangalia" TV series: actors and roles

The TV series is presented in the form of a story about the most significant moments of life of the Bulgarian visionary. Tired of the importunate attention of the press, Vanga, for reasons that are incomprehensible at first sight, agrees to give an interview to the beginning journalist Alisa Varezhkina. As it later turns out, it will become an important link in the life chain of the seer.

The role of Alice is performed by the star of many Russian TV series Karina Razumovskaya. The series gives special attention to the story of Vanga's friendship with Olga Vasiltseva, who later changed her surname and became Neznamova. In different periods of life the role of this heroine was performed by three actresses. Karina Andolenko played Olga at a young age. Svetlana Kozhemyakina - in a mature, and Valentine Ananyina - in the elderly. It is interesting that Sergey Medvedev, who was the press secretary of Boris Yeltsin, and the president of FIDE Kirsan Ilyumzhinov took part in the filming of the television series. Both of them knew Vanga personally, so it was not difficult for them to play themselves in scenes with a visionary.

Some strange events took place during the work on the television movie. About them in their interviews said the creators of the picture and the actors. "Wengelia" - a television series, which, thanks to the main character, was enveloped from the very beginning by a mystical halo. The otherworldly influence was present or not, it is difficult to judge.

The scenario was rewritten, and the filming process was delayed.

Everything ceased with the appearance in the team of the TV project Elena Yakovleva.
