When the operative pseudonym is forgotten

Unfortunately, many people who created the film "Operational pseudonym" are no longer alive. At the age of 57 (in 2005) the director Igor Talpa, who specializes in good crime dramas and insurgents, left our world. He started with a good action-packed mini-series of four parts "Tango on the abyss," continued "Sarmat", "Return of the Titanic." But in 2003, the director shot "Operational pseudonym" - a series about a man who has lost his memory, but has not lost anything human. This same protagonist - a provincial resident Sergei Lapin - was played by Alexander Dediushko, who has never faked in a rather bruised image of a real man. The more painful is our viewer's loss: Alexander was killed in a car accident in the Vladimir region, it was four years after the premiere screening of the operative pseudonym on the blue screens. He was only 45. How many spectators could he still conquer with his truly masculine charm!

Another Born?

The intrigue of the series is that an ordinary person (except that slightly, apparently, "shifted", not without reason in the "psychiatric hospital" once lay) turns out to be a special agent. Of course, this turn of events is not new, it is worth remembering only the ubiquitous Born who long identified himself.

Amnesia - this method is popular and opens great opportunities for the further development of events. But still, despite the apparent banality that occurs on the screen (and shows the end of the "dashing" of the nineties, a difficult time) attracts and makes watching the "Operational pseudonym" one series after another. Lapin receives an offer to work in a bank. Memory gradually returns to our agent. He is caught between two fires: on the one hand, FSB officers, on the other - criminal types, which also do not let Sergei out of sight. The plot is gaining momentum, but everything is just beginning ...

Recognized masters of cinema

Of course, the central character attracts maximum attention, which is quite logical. But even Lapin's entourage is very strong. Roles played by recognized masters of Russian cinema art - Vladimir Konkin, Lev Durov, Lev Prygunov, may not be included in the annals of history, but they are also masters in order to translate images with maximum impact.

The charisma of the most intelligent Aristarkh Livanov and Vladimir Verzhbitsky helped them this time too. Good in the role of "mafia element" Vladimir Episkopossian, like a fish in the water feeling in the shoes of all kinds of creeps and scum. Igor Volkov as a lieutenant colonel of the FSB also left a pleasant impression.

What is the most attractive to the viewer "Operational pseudonym"? Of course, the spy component. Thanks to the co-author of the script - the famous author-detective Daniel Koretsky - you do not have to miss it especially. The very essence of what we call male friendship is well illustrated. It appears to exist. "Operational pseudonym" - a series that tells about her, too. Plus tape is also a short duration, so that the viewer just does not have time to get tired of the characters.
