In addition to the magnificent script and competent directorial work, the actors employed in the film made a significant contribution to the success of the film. “Each has its own war” - a film that looks at one go. In the materials of our article we will talk about those who are the main characters in the picture, as well as about the actors who performed the main roles.
Screen adaptation of the novel by Eduard Volodarsky
“Everyone has their own war” - a multi-part film that tells about the life and fate of people in the difficult post-war time - the fifties of the 20th century - the time when a great country only got up from its knees after monstrous losses, when hopes for a brighter future were intertwined with black memories of the past . Each survivor, it would seem, already in peacetime had to fight with circumstances and with himself. Making a difficult decision: choose - to remain human or go to a deal with conscience. The film is based on the story of Eduard Volodarsky “Farewell to Zamoskvoretskaya Shpan”.
The main storyline of the series is the relationship of several families, which the viewer watches from series to series. In the conditions of one communal apartment there is a firework of feelings - friendship, love, betrayal, which, however, become only a background for the story of the first and such short-lived love of schoolboy Robert and Mila - a girl with a difficult fate. Although she was considered a friend of the leader of the Zamoskvoretsky hooligans, she knew the price of real feelings. And love is a place in any conditions, and no matter what happens around.
Interestingly, the story of Eduard Volodarsky was already filmed in 1987 by director Alexander Pankratov. The picture was called “Goodbye, Zamoskvoretskaya’s punks”.
Interesting Facts
The director of the picture "Everyone has their own war" was Zinovy ​​Roizman. It is noteworthy that, in addition to the story “Farewell, the shaman Zamoskvoretskaya”, the talented director has already filmed other works of the writer Volodarsky, but the television series “Everyone Has Their Own War” became his favorite work.
Roizman is very close to the military theme in cinema, because he himself grew up in the post-war years and forever remembered the time when his front-line father had just returned from the war. The family lived in a communal apartment, where neighbors along the corridor were different people - not only doctors, teachers and military, but also thieves. Each sought to find himself and take an advantageous place in post-war life. Therefore, it was even more difficult to coexist in peace and harmony with oneself and with each other.
The film “Everyone Has Their Own War”, the actors for which they were selected very carefully, tells about the Moscow life of the post-war 1949, but the picture was shot not in the capital, but in the glorious city of Yaroslavl. The city was not chosen by chance. Yaroslavl is one of the few places where signs of the post-war capital are still preserved, shown in detail on film by a film director. Old city courtyards are very similar to the post-war Moscow nooks and crannies with pigeons and arbors. It was almost impossible to create such an atmosphere on the set in the capital, because all around modern life, vanity, double-glazed windows on windows, on the facades of houses - advertising. Only a few scenes of the tape were shot in the Caucasus and in the pavilions of the Mosfilm film studio.

Communal neighbors
In addition to Lyuba Krokhina and her sons, several more families live in the communal apartment - front-line soldier Stepan Egorovich Kharlamov, musician Nedelkin with his wife and minor daughter, the family of Pavel Petrovich who returned from the war, doctor Sergey Andreevich Arsenyev with his wife. The actors of the series “Everyone Has Their Own War” Konstantin Lavronenko, Fedor Dobronravov, Sergey Gazarov, Ekaterina Strizhenova, Anna Legchilova, Ekaterina Vulichenko, Daniil Spivakovsky and played these roles. According to the scenario, all these people are forced to coexist in a single space. When they meet in the kitchen, they quarrel, make peace, look for the truth, and in the yard - difficult times - the countdown of the last years of Stalin's reign began.
The role of a front-line soldier, a decent, but completely unhappy and lonely person - Stepan Egorovich Kharlamov - was performed by a talented actor, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Konstantin Nikolayevich Lavronenko.
Konstantin Lavronenko was born in 1961 in Rostov-on-Don, where he graduated from the theater department of the art school.

The image of another soldier in the picture - Pavel Petrovich, who returned from the war with a soul exhausted by losses and horrors, was created by actor Fedor Dobronravov. His character, in fact, is a good person, but the memories of the fighting haunt him day or night. Maybe that's why he drowns his suffering in guilt, maybe that's why he torments the unfortunate wife Zinaida, who, in spite of everything, loves her husband and forgives him a lot.
Fedor Viktorovich Dobronravov - Honored and People's Artist of the Russian Federation. Born in September 1961 in Taganrog, however, received his education in Voronezh - in 1988 he graduated from the acting department of the State Institute of Arts.

The career of the artist began at home, later Anna Legchilova joined the troupe of the Moscow Theater. Pushkin. In 2003 Legchilova made her debut as a director.
The fight for square meters: Nedelkin and Arsentiev
In addition to Stepan Egorovich and Pavel Petrovich, two more families live in the communal apartment. These families are very different and unlike each other. There is a conflict between the heads of families - men are trying to share the living space that was vacated in the apartment. A domestic quarrel almost leads to irreparable consequences.
One of the protagonists of the conflict - Nedelkina - was played by Sergey Gazarov. I must say, his character turned out to be very colorful. The actor got used to the image of a cunning and greedy restaurant musician who, in his desire to achieve a goal, will stop at nothing. Nedelkin lives happily ever after; he does not deny himself anything. His wife has expensive fur coats, beautiful dresses, but there is no happiness.
Sergey Ishkhanovich Gazarov hails from Baku. In 1980, he graduated from GITIS, from which his career began. The artist’s track record includes collaboration with many metropolitan theaters (Sovremennik, Tabakov Theater Studio).

But the Arsentiev family was introduced by Daniil Spivakovsky and Ekaterina Vulichenko. Daniil Ivanovich Spivakovsky - Honored Artist of Russia - was born in 1969 in Moscow. As a teenage boy, he became interested in art and began to study in a theater studio, later he graduated from GITIS. Since 1992, Spivakovsky has been playing at the Mayakovsky Theater, but his film debut took place only in 2002, in the multi-part film “Two Fates”.
Vulichenko Ekaterina Vladimirovna - Muscovite, born in June 1980. As a child, I did not dream of becoming an actress, and I got to the theater school by accident. In 2001, Vulichenko graduated from the Theater School. Schepkina, entered the service in the theater "Modern". Her film debut took place in the movie "Serpent Spring".
Summarizing the above, it should be noted that the film "Everyone Has Their Own War", the actors of which perfectly got used to the image, is a collection of episodes from the lives of several families, with different social status, upbringing, and approach to life. However, all of them are united by one thing - in an atmosphere of disorder and frustration, when many are weak, the main thing is not to lose heart and try to cling to life with all our might.
