Hello, youth in boots: how the stars of the series “Soldiers” have changed
Ivan Mokhovikov and Alexander Lymarev
Despite the simple plot, when it aired, “Soldiers” became REN TV’s highest-rated project. The director of the series was Sergei Arlanov, and the author of the idea was Vyacheslav Murugov, who knew firsthand about the everyday life of conscripts, having once risen to the rank of artillery captain. The screenwriter did not invent stories from the first season, but borrowed them from personal experience.
For the actors, filming was tantamount to real service, because they had to engage in drill training and shooting. The audience instantly had favorites: warrant officer Shmatko played by Alexei Maklakov, Sokolov by Ivan Mokhovikov, Sergeant Pyleeva played by Olga Fadeeva, and many others. 15 years have passed since the series was released and, of course, the artists who portrayed the main characters of the first seasons on the screen have changed a lot. What happened to the stars of “Soldier”?
ALEXEY MAKLAKOV
The role of Ensign Shmatko became one of the brightest in the career of Alexei Maklakov
Many fans stated that Warrant Officer Shmatko “made” the series. Indeed, the cunning and resourceful hero, constantly getting into trouble because of his own mistakes, turned out to be one of the key characters in the story. Alexey Maklakov was popular before the success of “Soldier,” but after that, the role of Shmatko not only became his calling card, but also served as a reason for the development of his musical career: the artist released the album “E-mine!”
“It was a test of the pen, as they say. But not even mine, but from the production center. “I never had any illusions about my abilities as a singer,” Maklakov later admitted.
Alexey Maklakov in the film “Elastico”
Thanks to “Soldiers,” the artist found love, meeting Anna Romanova on the set, who eventually became his wife. It was with Anna that Alexey Maklakov was able to create a strong family. By the way, he has five children from different women. The two youngest daughters, born in marriage to Romanova, grew up next to their dad, but the movie star’s relationship with the other heirs did not work out.
The illegitimate son of Alexei Maklakov forgave his father years later
The actor again appeared in the role of a military man in the film “Dead, Alive, Dangerous” and in “Traffic Cops.” He managed to change his repertoire with the release of the film “Elastico”. Maklakov is currently working on the Doctor Martov project. In addition, he dreams of one day releasing his own film dedicated to his mother.
“I co-wrote the script with my friends,” said the artist. “Mom, like all wonderful women, tried to be invisible, and did a lot. She was an excellent children's librarian: she did her job honestly and was awarded for it. She almost lost her sight at this job, but she did a lot of good for the children whom she loved madly.”
ROMAN MADIANOV
Roman Madyanov played a negative character in the series
There are almost no spectators left who do not know the famous artist by sight. The role of Major Kolobkov only strengthened the actor’s fame. He had never complained about the lack of work before, and having played a negative character in the series, he began to participate in at least five films annually. In 2007, Roman Madyanov broke all records by starring in 10 projects at once.
“Kolobkov beat my previous heroes in popularity ratings. Even Major Kharchenko from “Penal Battalion,” the actor admitted. — I am very grateful to the role of Abakumov, the hero of “In the First Circle,” which brought down the “Kolobkov” wave. It’s always interesting for an actor to play different material, and not be stuck on one image.”
In “House Arrest” the actor played the role of the corrupt governor
The artist’s credits include participation in the films “Legend No. 17”, “Super Beavers”, “Yolki-2”. The number of films in which he played is close to 200. Madyanov embodied another negative character in the popular series “House Arrest.” Now the actor is working on the projects “Ilyinsky Frontier”, “Our Children” and “The Frenchman”. Due to his busy schedule, the star gets nervous a lot, and only friends and family help him get rid of stress.
Roman Madyanov takes his anger out on relatives
Madyanov is proud of his success in his profession, but he considers family to be the most important thing in life. During a period of unemployment, it was his lover who helped the artist cope with depression and alcohol addiction. Without hesitation, the actor proposed to his sympathetic beloved. For more than 20 years, the movie star has been married to theater props maker Natalya, who gave him a son, Roman.
ALEXANDER LYMAREV
In the first season of the comedy, the central role was occupied by the hero of Alexander Lymarev
As a child, he studied step dance, and decided to master the craft of acting on the advice of a choreographer. Before the series, the artist played in the film “Hello, Capital!”, but it was the role of Misha Medvedev that opened the way for him to cinema. The charismatic and bright character was liked by the audience, who began sending batches of letters to the idol.
“This is written to the hero of the series “Soldiers,” and not to me personally. Of course, such attention is pleasant, but it is based, rather, on the perception of the image of Mikhail Medvedev. I don’t understand how you can fall in love without having an idea of who I am,” the actor reasoned.
The actor often plays in crime dramas
Lymarev played in the holiday feature film “Soldiers. Hello, company, New Year!”, but after the second season of the series he disappeared from the comedy to try himself in other projects. This upset viewers, who noted that history had lost a lot without Medvedev.
Having played the main characters in the films “Pay for Love” and “Orange Sky”, the artist returned to the role of an employee in the sixth season of “Soldier”. Critics later called “Kilometer Zero” one of the actor’s most successful works. Alexander also added to his filmography with “The Kidnapping of Eve” and the film “The Yellow Eye of the Tiger,” and is now starring in the series “Raya Knows Everything!”
Alexander Lymarev plays in the theater and plays music, acting as a DJ. The actor rarely talks about his personal life, but it is known that he is dating a girl named Maria. The couple has been together since school, and fans expect to hear about the artist's wedding soon.
IVAN MOKHOVIKOV
According to the plot, Kuzma Sokolov was Misha Medvedev's best friend
Slightly clumsy, but kind and open, Private Sokolov became one of the most popular characters in the comedy series. After the TV project, job offers rained down on the artist like from a cornucopia. At the same time, Ivan Mokhovikov played in “Soldiers” until the last 17th season, in which his hero rose to the rank of company commander.
“If an artist has a role for which they are recognized, that’s not a bad thing. My Sokolov is firmly entrenched in people’s brains. Therefore, when they offer to work in other projects, I try to make sure that it is not like my hero in “Soldiers,” noted Mokhovikov.
The actor often attends social events
In an unusual role, Ivan appeared in the film “Godunov”, where he played the role of an archer, and in the new version of “Viy”. Mokhovikov is currently working on the film “Dancing at Heights.”
The TV series star is not worried about his personal life: even after graduating from university, he met love in the person of actress Olga Glushko. After the wedding, Olya left her career to raise her son with Ivan. When the couple has free time, they go on vacation to Tallinn - where Mokhovikov was born and spent his childhood.
“I have almost no one left in the Estonian capital, everyone has left. My brother went to Moscow, my mother teaches in Ireland, my father travels between countries in a truck - he is a truck driver,” the actor shared.
OLGA FADEEVA
Olga Fadeeva played a nurse in the series
She was born into a family of ballet stars and dreamed of following in her parents’ footsteps, but Fadeeva was not accepted into the choreographic school. Having entered the theater lyceum, Olga firmly decided to achieve success in the acting field. Her journey began with filming in music videos, but, like for many colleagues, it was “Soldiers” that became a kind of springboard for the artist to fame.
The main roles in the comedy were played by men, and the character of Irina Pyleeva stood out in the story. There was a romantic twist - ultimately, Irina changed her last name to Medvedeva. After “Soldiers,” the actress collaborated with Ukrainian filmmakers, and then began working closely in multi-part projects: “Gypsies,” “She Couldn’t Do Otherwise,” “Swallow.”
Now the actress is blonde
A special feature in the artist’s filmography was the action movie “Invincible,” on the set of which she met her husband Alexander Samokhvalov. Olga married a producer in 2008. The couple is raising their son Alexei and working on film projects together.
By the way, fans note: since the days of “Soldiers,” the actress has changed for the better. From a brunette, Fadeeva dyed her hair blonde, which was highly appreciated by the audience.
ANTON ELDAROV
The role of Private Gunko glorified Anton Eldarov
The son of the famous writer Igor Farbarzhevich has been close to the world of art since childhood. After graduating from VGIK, Anton Eldarov worked in the theater, and then decided to start acting in films. His star role was the Ukrainian soldier Gunko, who won the hearts of all the fairer sex who watched the series.
“It’s very nice that people still remember my hero,” the artist admitted more than once.
Externally, the actor has changed a lot
In addition to “Soldiers”, Eldarov also starred in other multi-part projects - “Brothers in Different Ways”, “Ranetki”, “Sklifosovsky”. He also plays in the theater and is known as a dubbing actor, announcer and musician. Despite his busy schedule, the artist manages to devote time to his family: he is happily married to make-up artist Marina Dyakova, with whom he is raising two children.
As for changes in appearance, the actor gained weight and grew stubble, which is why many fans note that they do not immediately recognize his favorite character from “Soldiers.”
AMADU MAMADAKOV
Before “Soldiers,” Amadou Mamadakov played in the theater
Service is service, and lunch is on schedule. But it is not this simple truth that explains the popularity of the cook Ivan Vakutagin from the series, but the origin of the hero: is it a joke - a Chukchi in the army. A native of Altai, Amad Mamadakova has been offered Asian roles since his student days, but he always tried to avoid cliches in his work. In the TV series “Soldiers,” the actor managed to endow the character with distinctive features: Vakutagin shoots like an experienced hunter, talks to fish in the kitchen before cooking it, and heals privates with the help of shamanism.
The sympathy of the audience provided Mamadakova with a stellar future. He played in the projects “9th Company” and “Mongol”, received the title of Honored Artist of Altai, and tried himself as a theater director. It is symbolic that most often the actor is offered military roles.
“I am very sensitive to everything related to the army, military service,” Amadou emphasized. “Maybe it’s due to the fact that I grew up hearing stories about wars - both of my grandfathers fought in the Great Patriotic War, my brother performed his international duty in Afghanistan.”
Amad Mamadakova is now 42 years old
The artist’s participation in films with historical overtones “Sofia” and “The Legend of Kolovrat” was crowned with success. However, no matter how hard Mamadakov tried to change his repertoire, echoes of Vakutagin’s role still resound in his life: the actor is currently starring in the TV series “Raya Knows Everything!” together with his colleague from “Soldiers” Alexander Lymarev.
