The series "Brigade": Space - one of the main characters

TV project "Brigade" became a cult series about Moscow in the 90s, which gained great popularity in Russia and CIS countries. Thanks to the shooting in the film, little-known actors became famous, who had not even been shot before. Who was the main character of the TV series "Brigade"? Cosmos, White, Bee and Phil are four true friends. Speech in the article will be about one of them - the Cosmos. Dmitry Dyuzhev played this role. Despite the impressive list of films with his participation, for all his fans he remains the Cosmos from the series "Brigade".

Cosmos - major, racketeer, friend

Who is the most brilliant and memorable hero of the series "Brigade"? Kosmos Kholmogorov - one of Sasha Bely's closest friends - is a cheerful, intelligent and handsome guy, the son of a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Together with Pchela, his friend, he was engaged in racketeering in the Moscow market and dreamed that with the return of Sasha from the army they would become a full gang having influence in the criminal world. The guy had many connections among the mafia of the 90s, which allowed him to solve many issues, including those connected with Bely when he quarreled because of his girlfriend with Mukha, a local bandit.

At the beginning of the series "Brigade" Cosmos is first and foremost a friend - he helps White, when he follows the militia, hides his father at the dacha with his friends, gives money and tries to somehow agree with the "starshaki" of the criminal groups. But after, under the pressure of circumstances, his character begins to change greatly.

Space - a drug addict, a murderer

Power and money greatly change friends and, in fact, the relationship between them. What's so unpleasant happened between friends in the TV series "Brigade"? Cosmos used to be always in the foreground, and after the arrival of Bely, he had to withdraw and give way to him. Kholmogorov does not like this. It is White who kills the Fly without telling friends about it, and it is precisely because of this that Sasha begins serious problems with the law. Fortunately, the Cosmos tries to help a friend, but after that the concept of friendship for him changes. Fully embroiled in the underworld, the hero becomes ruthless, brutal and cruel. He carries with him a pistol for intimidation, so that everyone without exception can understand who is in front of him. Space kills people, extorts money, threatens, and at the same time, there is no mercy or sympathy in his soul. Soon because of business, he starts quarrels with Bee, against which he tries to set up and Sasha Bely. Sucking on cocaine, Kholmogorov becomes unbalanced and dangerous, but still does not lose his charm and tries to stand up to his friends for the last.

The Cosmos Machine from the Brigade

As early as the beginning of the series, viewers were able to appreciate the luxury car of Space - the Lincoln Town Car of the 80's. Not everyone could afford such a car, and she became the hallmark of the hero, his pride. Space has repeatedly said that such a machine is only with him and with Michael Jackson, that she emphasizes the status. Gray with painted lights from Andy Warhol - she looked in the frame very stylishly, although the director during the filming of the series swore because the American car was often refusing to wind up and behaved very wayward.

The explosion of the Cosmos machine in the final series

What ended the film "Brigade"? Cosmos, Bee and Phil were lost. At their funeral Sasha White decides to go on an old machine of the Cosmos, which for this purpose was specially restored. In fact, it was a snag. Sasha and Olya drove on another car, and Lincoln Town Car was supposed to explode with the help of a team of stuntmen Inshakov, a friend of Belov and Phil. According to the planned plan, a man from a grenade launcher had to shoot into the car. The car explodes at full speed and falls into the river. The public is sure that Belov was killed, although in reality at this moment he and his family quietly left for a while from Moscow, in order to take revenge on their enemies. The shooting of these frames was complicated, since after the explosion due to the heavy weight the car almost completely burned down, but stopped on the road, although according to the idea of the director had to fall into the river. The machine could not be reanimated, only pieces of iron remained from it, so the crew had to hire welders who welded the remaining parts of the Kosmos car to the "Muscovite" of the old model. It was this car that blew up, and then the directors threw it into the river.

Cosmos - the nickname or the name of the hero?

What is the name of the Cosmos from the Brigade? The main character was really called that, it was not his nickname. A rare Greek name Yuri Kholmogorov gave his son not in vain. He wanted his son to be important and dear not only to him, but also to other people, the public and the country. Father believed that his son would manage to achieve much in life, but he did not ask for such a tragic fate.

The name of the Cosmos from the Brigade is really so rare. If the other main characters had nicknames - White, Bee, Phil, then Kholmogorov did not have to invent anything. His character and style of behavior almost completely correspond to his name. Kholmogorov liked to be in the center of attention and stand out against the general background. Cosmos had its own style - expensive business suits (mostly blue), cuff links, striped necktie and a must-have gun. The hero did not like restrictions, he was jealous of his freedom and always strove for the new, throwing away the old as unnecessary shackles. To his friends - Sasha, Pchela and Phil - Cosmos treated like brothers and never wanted to betray them. He risked himself when he rescued Bely from the police, did not let him kill the policeman who "took" Pchela and Phil, explaining to him that Sasha did not actually kill anyone. In the career of the criminal, Cosmos proved to be a great schemer, he could unmask the traitors in the brigade without problems and find new ways of earning money, though because of this he often contacted dangerous people who threatened the existence of the bandit group.

Who played Cosmos in the Brigade?

Cosmos in the cult series was played by Dmitry Dyuzhev, who today is one of the most sought-after actors of Russian cinematography. In the series he was auditioned as a little-known graduate of a theatrical high school, who before that managed to withdraw only in the tape "24 hours" by Alexander Atanesyan. After filming in the movie "Bloomers" Dmitry was recognized by critics for the role played by the bandit Simon. He also starred in such famous films as "Island", "Rally", "High Security Vacation" and "Paradise Knows". In 2011, Dyuzhev received a diploma as a director and withdrew his first short films. Until now, Dmitry Dyuzhev successfully participates in the productions of the Chekhov Theater.

Dmitry Dyuzhev on the Cosmos and the TV series

It is noteworthy that Djuzhev is a believer and at the time of filming in the TV series "Brigade" he regularly went to confess to his spiritual father. The latter gave him his blessing to participate in the series, since he considered it very instructive. In the opinion of Dmitry Dyuzhev himself, it is important for youth to understand that the path of rejection of God, the transformation of a person into a criminal that can kill lives and commit atrocities, inexorably leads to a tragic end.
