   CONSTANTINOPLE  
FIRST IMAGES FROM HISTORICAL SERIES
You can always count on brothers Russians to have some new historical series for us. Today you can check out first images from their upcoming new war series CONSTANTINOPLE from director Sergei Chekalov and with our dearest Vyacheslav Chepurchenko in the lead role beside Sergei Marin and Alexander Ustyugov. Done for NTV and Ivi streamer it is set at the beginning of the 20th century following  Russian officers in exile who are trying to survive in Constantinople among other refugees. The series will be filmed in Moscow, St. Petersburg with Baku, the Azerbaijani capital, acting as Constantinople.
 
THE ACTION TAKES PLACE IN NOVEMBER 1920
White Guard officer Sergei Neratov (Alexander Ustyugov) arrives from Crimea to Constantinople together with the remnants of Wrangel's defeated army and civilian refugees. Alone and broken, having lost absolutely everything in the revolution and the Civil War - the army was defeated, his wife and children died - Neratov becomes the head of the Russian emigration. In Constantinople, where the Russian refugees had pinned their hopes for salvation and freedom, they are met with a cold reception. Sergei Neratov is a principled Russian officer who puts duty and honor above personal gain. He finds himself in a completely alien world, where refugees from Russia are perceived as "second-class" people – outcasts doomed to poverty and death. But Neratov is able to defend the right of his compatriots to a decent life. He will be able to protect the Russian world from tyranny.
