The question of where the series "Molodezhka" was filmed began to excite the fans of the TV project from its very launch. As it turned out, the series was not created in Moscow at all.

What is Molodezhka?

"Molodezhka" is a popular multi-part film project that tells the story of the "Bears" hockey team, whose members are fiercely fighting for the leadership of the "Molodezhka" (Youth Hockey League) and the title of champions. The release of this unique TV project (under the direction of Sergei Arlanov) was expected for a very long time: the director has already managed to catch the fancy of the viewers, creating unique images of the imperious "MarGosha" and the loose "Ranetki".

Series description

The Youth Hockey League (better known to TV viewers as "Molodezhka") is a competitive game played among young hockey teams between the ages of 17 and 21. In the series there are such rival teams as "Lions", "Diesel", "Chemist" and others. The main characters of the film project are young guys from the team"Bears" who train hard with the goal of beating rivals and qualifying for the KHL (Continental Hockey League).

Young "Bears" are very talented, full of strength and energy individuals who dream of a great future in the world of sports. However, their personal life - problems at school, university, constantly arising misunderstandings with parents and soul mates - does not allow the guys to focus on training. It is thanks to this that the “Bears” are so unlucky on the ice: the team suffers defeat after defeat. The coach of the team, Stepan Arkadyevich Zharsky, who finally lost all hope and faith in the guys, leaves the Bears. It would seem that all the dreams of athletes are destroyed. However, after some time, a new team coach suddenly appears on the ice - Sergey Makeev. It is his tight control, daily intensive training and well-chosen motivational words that will help the guys "grow up" on the ice and finally become one team.

Where was Molodezhka (Season 1) filmed?

This question began to worry the fans of the TV project from its very launch. In the comments to the videos posted on the Internet, many questions arose about where the Molodezhka series was filmed.

The producer of the series Dmitry Tabarchuk revealed this secret. He told reporters how and where they filmed Molodezhka (Season 1). It turns out that the preparation for the project lasted a very long time. At first, the search for actors was in full swing,who know how to skate. Moreover, all the guys on the samples claimed that they stand well on the ice. Later, when they were asked to go out on the ice and make some simple moves (turns and turns at speed, dodges, hard braking), it turned out that in fact, almost no one can skate at the level that the project required. Then the team of creators made the following decision: actors will be selected for the project, based only on the acting talents of the guys. After the team was fully assembled, special trainings were held with the guys so that they could more confidently stand on skates.

Interestingly, although most of today's popular TV series are filmed in the capital, this project was created in another city - Podolsk. The very stadium where the guys from the team "Bears" train every day is nothing but the main pride of the city, the Ice Palace "Vityaz". This palace is located in the forest park "Dubki" and covers an area of approximately 5 hectares.

Where was Molodezhka (season 2) filmed?

Many fans of this series after the release of the first season were looking forward to the appearance of the second. After the release of the long-awaited second season, the fans of the Bears began to wonder: "Where was the filming of "Molodezhka"?" The city in which the shooting of the second season of the TV project took place cannot be unequivocally named, because the work was carried out in different settlements of Russia.

For example, several episodeswas also filmed in the city of Podolsk, in the Ice Palace "Vityaz", several - in the cities of Samara, Krasnoyarsk, Mytishchi, Tolyatti and Chelyabinsk (however, only landscape inserts were filmed in the latter). The casting of the series itself took place in the city of Chelyabinsk. In addition, one of the main characters of the series - Ivan Zhvakin (plays Sasha Kostrova) - comes from Chelyabinsk. At the casting, the young actor appeared, as colleagues on the set recall, with very long hair. A little later, when he was approved (after the second attempt), the actor had to cut his hair.

Fans recognize home streets

On the forums dedicated to this series, many people recognize the places where "Molodezhka" was filmed. Part of the scenes was filmed in the city of Mytishchi, near the central square. Tram number 4, appearing on the streets of the city, was filmed in the city of Samara (on Democratic Street). The view of the city from above is also a view of Samara (the intersection of Polevoy and Lenin streets). Residents of the city of Tolyatti recognized several native streets in the series, and residents of Ulyanovsk noticed their native tram tracks. And even despite the huge number of confirmations that the series contains landscapes of various cities, someone still doubts where the Molodezhka series was filmed, arguing that the region number on the cars corresponds to the Ryazan city code. Be that as it may, the director of the project, Sergei Arlanov and producer Dmitry Tabarchuk, really managed to create some excitement around the tape and make fans watch this series more carefully, look forplaces where Molodezhka was created, identifying familiar streets.
