It seems that the theme of working weekdays valiant Russian police in the film has been reached, especially in serial format. After all, after the audience fill-fed for several years, "Streets of Broken Lights" and "stopping power", it is difficult to believe that any new attempt to directors working in this genre is not turned into a role model. But when in 2008 the premiere of the first season of the series "Capercaillie", left no doubt: police theme still rocks. And taxis quite inimitable, otherwise to the third season is not reached.

Pulling such a grand project alone probably would not have taken none of the directors. Therefore, over the "Capercaillie" worked the whole creative group of Guzel Kireeva, Vyacheslav Kaminsky, Timur Alpatov and Rustam Urazaeva. Project title was chosen with a hint: it is not only a play on the name of one of the main characters, but also highlights the complexity of the policemen as "grouse" they usually refer to the intricate offense that can not reveal because of the lack of witnesses and evidence.

The main roles in the series performed Maxim Averin, Denis Rozhkov, Maria and Victoria Boltneva Tarasova. Hero Averin - senior investigator Sergei Glukharev in the first series is the rank of captain, but then rises through the ranks to the rank of Major. Not ideal, but not a werewolf in epaulets. He lives on his comfortable life principles, trying not to deviate too much from the generally accepted standards of morality. For example, specially the money he never extorted but from bribes not refuse when they are presented not frank scum. His mistress Irina Zimin and friend-colleague Denis Antoshin with his girlfriend Nastya - also colorful and original images. The role went to Zimin Victoria Tarasova Nastia - Mary Boltneva and Antoshina - Denis Rozhkov.

Lowdown profession

No ATS "Pyatnitsky", which appears in the series "Capercaillie" and that in a separate mini-series, made in the framework of the full project does not exist. Its specially invented to not so much conspicuous similarity of the heroes of the series with real people. After all, the characters up to the last detail copied from friends writer Ilya Kulikov. Even the actors in the leading roles were chosen on the basis of resemblance to their counterparts. When these investigators saw drafts from the shooting, they were terribly surprised, because they do not suspect that in a movie with such certainty can display all the ins and outs of their profession.

One of the most serious test for the crew during the preparation of the material for the first stage of the season proved to be a cow in which the characters just do not crash the car. Animal specially brought from Moscow in Pirogovo. Play the letter script cow categorically did not want to, and each time threw out some tricks. Directed by Timur Alpatov I was about to completely abandon the scene, but cut the cow was not allowed to producers: the scene, according to them, was to get funny and become one of the best decoration film. Actually, the way it turned out.

Features of the third season

The first season of the series "Capercaillie" was shown in the Russian NTV channel in Ukraine, the second - too. By shooting the third season under the working title "The Return" the creators of the hit began in January 2010. Like the previous part, it is a set of separate and quite complete police stories, but is built on the principle of blocs: one block includes eight to ten series. Just a third of the forty-eight episodes - at least, the figure shown on the official website of the DIXI. The directors believe that it is this season is necessary to put an end for the entire project, and stretch adventure grouse and his colleagues for a few more pieces does not make sense.

In September 2010, the premiere of the third season of the series "Capercaillie" took place on the TV channel "Ukraine", a little later - and on NTV. But viewers were able to see a series of thirty-four, and left the show is scheduled for 2011. So we are still waiting for a meeting with those who enforce the law is trying to be a man.
