And the dawn here is the quiet death of heroines. The history of the film "The Dawns Here Are Quiet..." (22 photos)

Telling about the fate of five anti-aircraft gunners and their commander during the Second World War.

History of creation

According to the author, the story is based on a real episode during the war, when seven soldiers, after being wounded, served at one of the junction stations of the Petrozavodsk-Murmansk railway, did not allow a German sabotage group to blow up the railway in this section. After the battle, only a sergeant survived, the commander of a group of Soviet fighters, who after the war was awarded the medal "For Military Merit". “And I thought: this is it! A situation when a person himself, without any order, decides: I won’t let him in! They have nothing to do here! I started working with this plot, I have already written seven pages. And suddenly I realized that nothing would come of it. It will just be a special case in the war. There was nothing fundamentally new in this story. Work is up. And then it suddenly came up - let my hero have not men, but young girls as subordinates. And that's it - the story immediately lined up. Women have the hardest time in war. There were 300 thousand of them at the front! And then no one wrote about them.

Plot

The main storyline of the story is the reconnaissance campaign of the heroes of the work. It is during the campaign that the characters of the characters are known to each other, heroism and love feelings are manifested.

Characters

Fedot Vaskov

Fedot Vaskov was already in the Finnish War, and now he is protecting the rear of the Soviet troops. He is the commandant of the patrol, to which, after lengthy requests to send non-drinking and non-walking fighters, they sent very young girls who had barely crossed the school threshold.

Vaskov is the only survivor of his entire squad, but he lost his arm, bringing the infection into the wound.

There are no direct indications in the book that Vaskov serves in the air defense. Anti-aircraft gunners were sent to the facility to protect against air raids. During the Winter War, Vaskov was a scout.

Zhenya Komelkova

A very beautiful red-haired girl, the rest of the heroines were amazed at her beauty. Tall, slender, with fair skin. When the Germans captured the village of Zhenya, an Estonian managed to hide Zhenya herself. In front of the girl's eyes, the Nazis shot her mother, sister and brother.

In Vaskov's platoon, Zhenya showed artistry; but there was enough room for heroism - it was she who, causing fire on herself, leads the Germans away from Rita and Vaskov. She saves Vaskov when he fights with the second German who killed Sonya Gurvich. The Germans first wounded and then shot her at close range.

In the film, the role of Komelkova was played by actress Olga Ostroumova.

Rita Osyanina

Rita Mushtakova was the first of the class to marry Lieutenant Osyanin, from whom she gave birth to a son, Igor. Rita's husband died during a counterattack on June 23, 1941.

In Vaskov's platoon, Rita became friends with Zhenya Komelkova and Galya Chetvertak. She died last, putting a bullet in her temple and thereby saving Fedot Vaskov. Before she died, she asked him to take care of her son.

Liza Brichkina

Liza Brichkina is a simple village girl who is under pressure from her father. At the same time, a hunter-traveler comes to their house, with whom Lisa falls in love. But not experiencing mutual feelings for Liza, and seeing at the same time in what conditions the girl grows up, he invites her to come to the capital and enter a technical school. But Lisa did not succeed in becoming a student - the war began.

Lisa drowned in a swamp while on assignment for Sergeant Vaskov, for whom she had love feelings.

Galya Chetvertak

Galya grew up in an orphanage. There she got her nickname for her short stature.

During the battle with the Germans, Vaskov took Galya with him, but she, unable to withstand the nervous tension of waiting for the Germans, ran out of hiding and was shot dead by the Nazis. Despite such a "ridiculous" death, the foreman told the girls that she died "in a shootout."

Sonya Gurvich

Sonya Gurvich is a girl who grew up in a large Jewish family. She knew German and could have been a good translator, but there were many translators, so she was sent to the anti-aircraft gunners (who, in turn, were few).

Sonya is the second German victim in Vaskov's platoon. She runs away from the others to find and return Vaskov's pouch, and stumbles upon patrol saboteurs who killed Sonya with two stab wounds in the chest.

One of the main characters in Boris Lvovich Vasiliev's story "The Dawns Here Are Quiet...".

Rita is strict, she never laughs, she just moves her lips a little, but her eyes remain serious. "Rita was not one of the smart ones ...". Rita Mushtakova was the first of the class, out of great love, to marry senior lieutenant Osyanin, from whom she gave birth to a son, Albert. And there was no happier girl in the world. At the outpost, she was immediately elected to the women's council and enrolled in all circles. Rita learned to bandage the wounded and shoot, ride a horse, throw grenades and defend against gases, and then ... war. On the very first day of the war, she was one of the few who did not lose her head, did not panic. She was generally calm and thoughtful. Rita's husband died on the second day of the war during a counterattack on June 23, 1941. Upon learning that her husband is dead, she goes to war instead of her husband to protect her little son, who was left with his mother. They wanted to send Rita to the rear, and she asked to fight. She was persecuted, stuffed by force into the wagons, but the stubborn wife of the deceased deputy chief of the outpost, Senior Lieutenant Osyanin, reappeared at the headquarters of the fortified area a day later. In the end, they took me as a nurse, and six months later they sent me to the regimental anti-aircraft school. The authorities appreciated the unsmiling widow of the hero-border guard: they noted it in orders, set it as an example, and therefore respected the personal request - to send, after graduation, to the site where the outpost stood, where her husband died in a fierce bayonet battle. Now Rita could consider herself satisfied: she had achieved what she wanted. Even the death of her husband went somewhere in the farthest corner of her memory: Rita had a job, and she learned to hate quietly and mercilessly ... In Vaskov's platoon, Rita became friends with Zhenya Komelkova and Galya Chetvertak. She died last, putting a bullet in her temple and thereby saving Fedot Vaskov. Before she died, she asked him to take care of her son. The death of Rita Osyanina is psychologically the most difficult moment in the story. Boris Vasiliev very accurately conveys the state

The protagonist of Boris Lvovich Vasiliev's story "The Dawns Here Are Quiet...".

Sergeant Major Fedot Vaskov is the commandant of the 171st patrol in the Karelian wilderness. The crews of the anti-aircraft installations of the siding, getting into a quiet environment, begin to toil from idleness and get drunk. In response to Vaskov's requests to "send non-drinkers", the command sends two squads of anti-aircraft gunners there ... Fedot graduated from four classes of the regimental school, and in ten years he rose to the rank of foreman. Vaskov experienced a personal drama: after the Finnish war, his wife left him. Vaskov demanded his son through the court and sent him to his mother in the village, but the Germans killed him there. The foreman always feels older than his years. The peasant's mind, the peasant's leaven is emphasized by the author in the "gloomy foreman" Fedot Vaskov. “Strong reticence”, “peasant slowness”, special “male solidity” since “the only peasant in the family remained - and the breadwinner, and the drinker, and the breadwinner”. “Old man” and “mossy stump, who has twenty words in reserve, and even those from the charter” behind his back call the thirty-two-year-old Vaskov his subordinate anti-aircraft gunners. “All his life Fedot Evgrafovich carried out orders. He did it literally, quickly and with pleasure. He was the gear of a huge, carefully tuned mechanism. Having come across with their "search group" of five "girls with three-rulers in an embrace" on sixteen armed fascist thugs from head to toe, rushing through the Sinyukhin ridge to the Kirov railway, to the "canal named after. comrade Stalin”, Vaskov “hid his confusion. He thought and thought, tossed and turned with his heavy brains, sucked all the possibilities of the upcoming deadly meeting. From his military experience, he knew that “playing hovanki with a German is almost like playing with death”, that the enemy “must be beaten. Beat until he crawls into the lair, ”without pity, without mercy. Understanding how difficult it is for a woman, who always gives birth to life, to kill, taught, explained: “These are not people. Not people, not people, not even animals - fascists. Look at it accordingly."

The beginning of the 70s was literally illuminated by the light of "Zor". The people were reading the novel by Boris Vasiliev, “The Dawns Here Are Quiet,” published in 1969 in the journal Yunost. Two years later, readers were already breaking into the famous performance of "Taganka". And 45 years ago, a two-part film by Stanislav Rostotsky was released on the screens, which was watched by 66 million in the first year - every fourth inhabitant of the USSR, if we count infants. Despite subsequent film adaptations, the viewer gives an unconditional palm to this, mostly black-and-white, picture and generally considers it one of the best films about the war.
From the heroes of yesteryear

In those years, the war was often filmed, and filmed superbly. A film about five dead girls and their rude, but such a sincere foreman managed to stand out from this constellation. Probably because former front-line soldiers gave him their memories, soul, experience, starting with the author of the script, writer Boris Vasiliev.

He knew how to write about the war especially. His characters were never perfect. Vasiliev, as it were, was saying to the young reader: look, the same people as you went to the front - those who ran away from lessons, fought, fell in love at random. But something in them turned out to be like that, which means there is something in you.

The film director Stanislav Rostotsky also passed the front. Vasiliev's story interested Stanislav Iosifovich precisely because he wanted to make a movie about a woman in the war. He himself was carried out of the battle by nurse Anya Chegunova, who later became Beketova. Rostotsky found a savior who, as it turned out, reached Berlin, then got married and gave birth to beautiful children. But by the time the shooting was over, Anna was already blind and fading away from brain cancer. The director brought her to the studio screening room and recounted the whole picture in detail what was happening on the screen.

The chief cameraman Vyacheslav Shumsky, the chief artist Sergei Serebrennikov, the make-up artist Alexei Smirnov, the costume designer's assistant Valentina Galkina, and the film's director Grigory Rimalis fought. They simply physically could not allow untruths to appear on the screen.
Sergeant Major Vaskov: Andrey Martynov

The difficult task was to find actors - such that they would be believed. Rostotsky conceived: let someone famous play the foreman, and girls, on the contrary, debutantes. He chose Vyacheslav Tikhonov for the role of foreman Vaskov, and Boris Vasiliev believed that front-line soldier Georgy Yumatov would do the best. But it so happened that the search for "Vaskov" continued. The assistant saw the 26-year-old actor at the graduation performance.

Andrei Leonidovich was born in Ivanovo, from childhood he raved about the theater. And his hero was not only six years older, but also from the village, had a “corridor education”, he dropped his words - like he gave him a ruble.

The first tests were very unsuccessful, but, apparently, Rostotsky was very attracted to the type of actor and his perseverance. In the end, Martynov played Vaskov, so much so that the viewer unconditionally fell in love with this ridiculous foreman after his on-screen fighters. Martynov superbly conducted the final scenes of the film, where he, already gray-haired, one-armed, together with his adopted son, sets up a modest tombstone in honor of his girls.

The actor had another starring role - in the television series "Eternal Call". Martynov successfully worked in film and theater. He has voiced over 120 foreign films, including The Godfather and Schindler's List.

Life gave him a kind of surprise: his wife was a German citizen, whom he met at the festival. Franziska Thun spoke excellent Russian. The couple had a son, Sasha. But Andrei did not want to live in Germany, although at home his colleagues literally pecked him for marrying a foreigner. And Francis did not want to move to the USSR. Their union eventually fell apart.


Rita Osyanina - Irina Shevchuk

Rita is the only heroine who was married and became a widow in the very first days of the war. In the rear, she had a small child with her mother, who was later adopted by Vaskov.


The painful personal drama of her heroine Shevchuk was helped to play by her complex romance with the actor Talgat Nigmatulin, who was then gaining popularity (Pirates of the 20th Century). But Irina had to experience the happiness of motherhood many years later. In 1981, she gave birth to a daughter, the famous actress Alexandra Afanasiev-Shevchuk (the girl’s father is composer Alexander Afanasiev).

Irina Borisovna successfully combines acting and public career. In 2016, she starred in the movie Stolen Happiness. At the same time, Shevchuk is the vice-president of one of the largest film festivals in Russia, Kinoshock.

Zhenya Komelkova: Olga Ostroumova

By the time of the filming of "Dawn" Olga at the same Rostotsky played a memorable role in "We'll Live Until Monday." Zhenya Komelkova - bright, daring and heroic - was her dream.


In the film, Ostroumova, whose grandfather was a priest, had to play a completely unusual “nudity” for the USSR. According to the scenario, the anti-aircraft gunners washed in the bath. It was important for the director to show beautiful female bodies, designed for love and motherhood, and not for bullets.

Olga Mikhailovna is still considered one of the most beautiful Russian actresses. Despite her extremely feminine appearance, Ostroumova has a strong character. She was not afraid to divorce her second husband, the chief director of the Hermitage Theater Mikhail Levitin, although they had two children in marriage. Now the actress is already a grandmother three times.


In 1996, Olga Mikhailovna married actor Valentin Gaft. Two such bright creative people managed to get along, although Gaft is the star of Sovremennik, and Ostroumova works at the Theater. Moscow City Council. Olga Mikhailovna said that at any time she was ready to listen to the poems of Valentin Iosifovich, which he writes as talentedly as he plays in films and on stage.
Liza Brichkina - Elena Drapeko

Lena, of course, really wanted to play Zhenya Komelkova. But in her, a thin girl who was born in Kazakhstan and studied in Leningrad, the director “saw” the full-blooded beauty Lisa, who grew up in a remote forest estate and was secretly in love with the foreman. In addition, Stanislav Iosifovich decided that Brichkina should not be a Bryansk, but a Vologda girl. Elena Drapeko learned to “okay” so much that for a long time she could not get rid of her characteristic dialect.


One of the most difficult scenes for the young actress was the scene when her heroine is drowning in a swamp. Everything was filmed in natural conditions, Lena-Lisa was wearing a wetsuit. She had to dive into the muddy mud. She was supposed to die, and everyone around was laughing at how the “swamp kikimora” looked like. Moreover, her glued freckles were restored all the time ...

The unbending character of Elena Grigorievna manifested itself in the fact that she became not only a very famous actress, who is still acting, but also a public figure. Drapeko - State Duma deputy, candidate of sociological sciences.

Political activity did not always contribute to personal life. But Elena Grigoryevna has a daughter, Anastasia Belova, a successful producer, and a granddaughter, Varenka.
Sonya Gurvich: Irina Dolganova

Irina Valerievna was as modest in life as her heroine, the quietest and most "bookish" among the five fighters. Irina arrived for the audition from Saratov. She didn't believe in herself so much that she didn't even leave an address. They barely found her and immediately sent her to play scenes at the rink with the then-beginner Igor Kostolevsky, otherwise they would have to wait for the next winter.


Rostotsky forced Irina, as required by the script, to wear boots two sizes larger, which caused the girl real torment. And from the scene when her Sonya dies from a blow with a German knife and her friends find her, Irina Shevchuk and Olga Ostroumova were genuinely horrified: Dolganova's face looked so lifeless.

Despite the "modest" role, Irina received an offer to stay in Moscow, at the film studio. Gorky. But I decided that theater is more important for an actress. For many years she has been playing in the Nizhny Novgorod Youth Theater. Irina Valerievna has a husband - a businessman and a son - a doctor. In her city, Dolganova is well known not only as an actress, but also as a defender of homeless animals.

Galya Chetvertak: Ekaterina Markova

For Markova, the realities of childhood and youth were sharply different from those that fell to the orphanage Galka Chetvertak, who was even given a surname for her small stature. Ekaterina grew up in the family of the famous Soviet writer Georgy Markov. She was a very purposeful girl: she specially went to study at an evening school for working youth, as she wanted to graduate from the studio at the Moscow Theater. Stanislavsky.


But what, of course, made Katya and Galka related is a rich imagination. Jackdaw invented everything for herself: parents, a groom and a happy future, which the German bullet did not allow to come true. And Markova became a writer, without leaving work in one of the best theaters in the country - Sovremennik.

Several stories by Ekaterina Georgievna have been successfully filmed.

Markova lived for many years in a happy union with the magnificent actor Georgy Taratorkin, who recently passed away. The couple raised two children. His son Philip is a historian by education, now he has taken the priesthood. And the viewer knows Anna Taratorkina's daughter well from films, serials and roles in RAMT.

  2. Zhenya is a red-haired beautiful girl. She is distinguished by her artistry and extraordinary charm. Her friends admire her. However, the important qualities of her character are strength and fearlessness. In war, she is also driven by a desire for revenge. Characteristics of the heroes of the work The Dawns Here Are Quiet are associated with their destinies. Each of the characters is a person with their own sad story. Most of the girls had their parents taken away by the war. But the fate of Zhenya is especially tragic, because the Germans shot her mother, sister and brother in front of her eyes. Of the girls, she is the last to die. Leading the Germans away, she suddenly thinks about how stupid it is to die at the age of eighteen. The Germans shot her at close range, and then peered into her beautiful proud face for a long time.
    20:45:58
    Fedot Vaskov Sergeant major went through the Finnish War. He was married and had a child. But by the beginning of the Patriotic War, he became an absolutely lonely man. The wife is gone. The young son died. And there was not a person in the whole world who would yearn for Vaskov, would wait for him from the front and hope that he would survive in this war. But he survived.
    Rita Osyanina She seemed older than other girls. Rita was the only mother from a platoon of anti-aircraft gunners who died in those days in the Karelian forests. She gives the impression of a more serious and reasonable person compared to other girls. After being seriously wounded, Rita shot herself in the temple, thereby saving the life of the foreman. Characteristics of the heroes of the story The Dawns Here are a quiet description of the characters and a brief background of the pre-war years. Unlike her friends, Osyanina managed to get married and even give birth to a son. The husband died at the very beginning of the war. And the war did not give her a son to raise.
    Lisa Brichkina is a girl from Siberia who was brought up without a mother and, like any young woman, dreamed of love. Therefore, when meeting with an elderly officer Vaskov, a feeling awakens in her. The foreman will never know about him. Fulfilling his task, Lisa drowns in a swamp.
    Galina Chetvertak is a former pupil of the orphanage. She did not lose anyone during the war, because in the whole world she did not have a single soul. But she so wanted to be loved and have a family that she indulged in dreams with self-forgetfulness. Rita died first. And when the bullet overtook her, Mom shouted out a word that she had not called a single woman in her lifetime. Once Sonya Gurvich had parents, brothers and sisters. During the war, all members of a large Jewish family perished. Sonya was left alone. This girl differed from others in refinement and education. Gurvich died when she returned for a pouch, forgotten by the foreman.
  3. "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" is a work that describes interesting female images. Sonya, Galya, Lisa, Zhenya, Rita - five different, but in some ways very similar girls. Rita Osyanina is gentle and strong-willed, distinguished by spiritual beauty. She is the most fearless, courageous, she is a mother. Zhenya Komelkova is white-skinned, red-haired, tall, with childish eyes, always laughing, cheerful, mischievous to the point of adventurism, tired of pain, war and painful and long love for a married and distant person. Sonya Gurvich is an excellent student, a refined poetic nature, as if she came out of a book of poems by Alexander Blok. Liza Brichkina always knew how to wait, she knew that she was destined for life, and it was impossible to bypass her. The latter, Galya, always lived more actively in the imaginary world than in the real one, therefore she was very afraid of this merciless terrible phenomenon, which is war. "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" depicts this heroine as a funny, never matured, clumsy, childish orphanage girl. Escape from the orphanage, notes and dreams ... about long dresses, solo parts and universal worship. She wanted to become the new Lyubov Orlova.
