In the 70s - 80s. the entire Soviet Union watched with passionate interest how Znamensky, Tomin and their talented forensic expert Kibrit "click like nuts" even the most complex, intricate cases. Filming of the series "Experts are investigating", the actors of which, by the way, have gained all-Union fame, stretched for 32 years. Even the famous "Santa Barbara" will not keep up with such indicators. What did the viewer love about this film and why did it become so popular?

“Experts are investigating”: general concept and idea

“Experts are investigating”, the actors in which recreated the truthful everyday life of the Moscow police, was first released in 1971. Initially, the project was conceived as a series of detective films, each of which lasts almost an hour and a half. After the 22nd part of the film was released in 89, in 2002 it was decided to continue shooting, during which two moreepisode.

The idea to create such a series came to the mind of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR Shchelokov, who wanted to use the film to make the image of the Soviet policeman more humane and popular among ordinary people. But, fortunately, the filmmakers were able to move away from the genre of ideological cinema, filled with clichés. The images of Znamensky, Tomin and Kibrit (and even the images of criminals) turned out to be extremely realistic and truthful.

In order to achieve such realism, the film crew consulted with Lieutenant General of Justice B. Viktorov on each issue.

Georgy Martynyuk as Znamensky

The film "Experts are investigating", the actors in which were selected with great care, simply could not help but become popular. Each of the performers of even the smallest role thought through his image to the smallest detail, what to say about Georgy Martynyuk, who played the main role - investigator Znamensky.

Martynyuk's character meticulously and passionately conducts any business he is entrusted with, even if it is a banal interrogation of a tramp. Znamensky is very attentive to details and does not submit cases to the archive until the facts fit together like a puzzle.

Such zeal could not go unnoticed, so by the end of the film the hero Martynyuk rose to the rank of colonel of justice. However, solving the case and imprisoning the culprit at all costs is not Znamensky's goal in itself. Sometimes he acts quite humanely with hisunder investigation, giving them a chance to maintain their dignity and self-respect.

Leonid Kanevsky as Tomin

Leonid Kanevsky managed to play in more than 10 films until 1971, but the picture “Experts are investigating” made him truly famous. The actors, who faced the difficult task of getting used to the role of MUR operatives, became so involved in this process that, for example, Kanevsky still celebrates the day of the police as a personal holiday.

Leonid Kanevsky had to add a touch of adventurism to the trinity of the main characters in order to defuse the tense atmosphere that hovers around Znamensky. Alexander Tomin is a joker, he treats his work a little easier and always reserves the right to improvise. His favorite way to get information for the investigation is to constantly act out small performances, pretending to be a plumber, then a school friend of the suspect.

And although such a creative approach to investigative activities sometimes annoys colleagues, no one can blame Tomin for inefficiency - he always achieves his goal.

Elsa Lezhdey as Kibrit expert

Charming forensic expert Zinochka Kibrit is the decoration of the film "Experts are investigating." The actors and the roles they played quickly won the sympathy of the viewers, but it was especially interesting to watch how a woman works in such a difficult sometimes aggressive environment.

Big plus of Kibrit's imageThe fact that Zinochka, despite the nature of her work, has not lost her femininity: the heroine of Lezhdey constantly wears stylish dresses, heels and fashionable handbags. But at the same time, Kibrit is well versed in her work and often the data she provides decides the outcome of the whole case.

In some films ("Blackmail"), Zinaida has to face the dangerous underworld face to face, but Kibrit still manages to maintain her composure and resourcefulness, deciding the case in her favor.

Unfortunately, Elsa Lezhdey died in 2001, so Lidia Velezheva replaced her in the last two parts of the film.

Boris Ivanov is an experienced actor, to be sure: he served in theaters almost from the age of 14, and from 61 he actively acted in films.
