“We know from history many of the monks, who had previously been
warriors — talks about her hero Laura Michael Porechenkov. I guess
that Laurel was once Governor, and then believed and became a monk. But somewhere
at heart he remained a warrior. And these two faces in it get along well.
His entire life is one big test, it is a constant struggle. And the most important
the battle takes place inside this person. The light, the force and the truth that he
be held, their need to protect and defend, which he does, despite all
difficulties that fall his way. As for the ghouls and demons, all of these
otherworldly beings — they take many forms. Not far to seek.
Those who flout the Christian laws and no regard for human life, they
there are ghouls.”

Porechenkov in addition to starring in the film are Aglaia
Shilovsky, Konstantin Kryukov, Andrey Rudensky, Roman Madyanov.

Kryukov got the role of a godson of the Empress Elizabeth,
who years later goes for Laurel.

“Various evil spirits I am quite serious, —
says Constantine. And I was very grateful to the Director, because in front of
the beginning of the movie we made a prayer. Being a believer, sometimes scared like this
subjects. In our movie, the ghouls turned out right scary. I love
historical movie! And in our case it is still fantastic a fiction and it
gives the effect of a fairy tale. Plus such interesting costumes! I have nice pants
it is a pity that in our time these are not very convenient! (Laughs) My character
passes the test of fear. At first he with skepticism applies to all these
dark stories, but when he is faced with vampires face to face, he
experience the horror. Amazingly beautiful Aglaya Shilovskaya perfectly growls than
scared me, Mikhail Porechenkov and in General the entire crew”.

Aglaia Tarasova played the beloved hero Kryukova — Milena. In
The Carpathian mountains he encounters weird, scary and unusual that it is unable
to explain his rational mind and meets the real love
into a battle with supernatural evil.

“I really liked the heroine, Milena, says Aglaia. — She’s not lyrical
girl Babushka, which does sparkle eyes and shake
curls. She is an Amazon warrior, fighting evil.
For the role I had to learn horse riding, though difficult tricks for me all
still fulfilled the girl understudy. And Mikhail Vasilyevich Zhigalov gave me private
lessons in shooting a gun. Just one day he noticed that I’m not very similar
the lady who shoots all his life. The irony: when we were shooting in
the mountains were +40, we melted, and when it was at 7 in the morning to swim in the lake
buff, great I had to fix it! We trained him to
looked more natural. The most striking impression to me was the scene
bathing cold… In the end I spent two hours in the not warm water, trying
to appease trembling jaw. (Laughs) But I knew why all this was necessary:
turned out very nice!”
