Rostov Veliky is one of the oldest cities in Russia, which attracts tourists with its rich history and beautiful architecture. But not everyone knows that this city has also become a filming location for several films. The Rostov Veliky film route will allow you not only to enjoy the beauty of ancient temples and monasteries, but also to see familiar places from your favorite movies.
We suggest starting the film route from Sovetsky Lane.
The area around the Kremlin in the film "Thirty-three" turned into the city of Verkhniye Yamki, in the current "House of Crafts" on the Five, there was the house of the main character - Ivan Sergeyevich Travkin. The Kremlin was given the role of a background for the hero's journey to the dentist, the passage of the motorcade to Travkin's house and the hero's calm return home.
The cinematic paths of the sixties directors are very different and at the same time very similar in their uniqueness. Such a "unique" road brought Georgy Danelia and Leonid Gaidai to our city. It is their films that can be called iconic in the cinematic biography of Rostov.
We continue the route along Sovetsky Lane, along Gostiny Dvor.
In the Rostov branch of the State Archive, a photo has been preserved where the entrance of the Church of the Savior at the Auction is decorated for a restaurant in the film "The Brothers Karamazov", then there was a library.
It was also here in 1978 that the footage of Nepman's Moscow was shot in the film "Tavern on Pyatnitskaya".
The fairground crowd is noisy, street children are scurrying among samovars and sheep, and it is here that the main characters of the story meet in this noisy trading mass.
The percentage of shots with the Kremlin's nature shows that it was the magnificent possibilities of this place that were appreciated above all other delights of Rostov.
Looking at the belfry, the Assumption Cathedral and the Rostov Kremlin, the frames of the films "Seven old Men and one Girl", "Hold on to the clouds" come to mind, where the Kremlin turned out to be the background for a number of gallows. "Seven notes in the air" - it was thanks to this film that Rostov bells hit the screens and became available to the audience. The famous "Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession", "The end of operation Resident", "Split" and others.
In the painting "Seven old men and one girl, Fantomas runs around the belfry and swings on the tongue of the bell "Sysoy", hiding from the chase.
The characters of the film "Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession" behave just as absurdly, entangled in ropes, the fugitives attract the attention of the Streltsy chasing them.
The route continues along the walls of the Rostov Kremlin along Petrovicheva Street.
She received her current name in honor of the outstanding Russian artist, Pyotr Petrovichev. The heroes of the film "My affectionate and gentle Beast" in 1978 ride in a wheelchair past the wall enclosing the Metropolitan Garden of the Rostov Kremlin, panoramas and details of other buildings slip through the background, the surface of Lake Nero. From the same wall, but in 1972, the Streltsy jumped in the film "Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession." "The extras were really jumping, but behind the high shaft it was not visible where. It turned out that there was a huge haystack under the wall. The shooting ended, but the hay was not taken away. We then tumbled there for a very long time, almost until the first of September," the Rostov residents recall.
In the painting "The Man from the Other Side", the beauty of Rostov Lake and the Rostov Kremlin personifies the patriarchal Russian antiquity.
The episode was filmed on Tolstovkaya Embankment, along which our route is now continuing.
The lake itself appears in the footage rarely, sporadically and not at the most successful times of the year.
Either a phantom deftly wields oars against the background of the Kremlin, then the hero of Yevgeny Leonov tries to drown himself, or a panoramic ferry "pops up" in the episode. The film "Seven notes in silence" begins with a small sketch: the shore of the lake, boats, long bridges, women rinsing their underwear on them.
