Zhora Kryzhovnikov (Kashchey)

About him:

The role of the antagonist was played by Nikita Kologrivy . The insidious authority leads the youth gang "Universam" in Kazan, and the idealist Vova, nicknamed Adidas In the late 1980s, the yard punks “divided the asphalt,” that is, they fought for territory, shedding blood. Groups appeared on every street and not only in Kazan. But in the capital of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic the phenomenon gained serious momentum. The gangs fought wall to wall, and strict discipline reigned within each group; in some of them there was a ban on smoking and alcohol.

Biography:

Kashchei was born in the 2nd half of the 1960s in Kazan. From a young age, the hero built a biography of a criminal element, which led him to prison. While his comrade Vova Adidas was preparing to be sent to Afghanistan, Kashchei spent his last months. Upon his release, the antagonist became the leader of the Universam gang, which Vladimir founded before being drafted into the army. The group fought for asphalt and looked for other primitive ways to release adrenaline. The situation changed when paratrooper Vova was demobilized and returned to Kazan. By 1989, free enterprise appeared, cooperatives arose, and with them racketeering, the first big money. The smartest and most ambitious leaders are beginning to move gangs onto economic lines, not limiting themselves to “sharing asphalt." Vova also strives for something more, but Kashchei took his place and imposes his policies, while simultaneously ignoring the “boy code.” For example, he uses drugs, which gang members do not approve of. Obviously, only Adidas can compete with Kashchei. And his half-brother Marat and his new friend Andrei will help him with this. I'm in my early 20s. The photo shows a hero with the appearance of a typical leader of a youth criminal group from the times of the late USSR. The image of a villain has become familiar to Kologrivy, but the actor admitted that he is closer to the version of Emelya from the film “ At the Command of the Pike .” A character who doesn’t care about problems, because he is so cheerful that he does not allow himself to come into contact with the dark sides of his soul. However, his hero from "The Boy's Word" has enough of this evil.

Biography:

Kashchei fit into those times: perestroika , lawlessness on the streets, thirst for profit. Kologrivy embodied on the screen a lonely, deeply unhappy man who understands the path he is following. Friendship and a word of honor are empty words for Kashchei. The hero does not trust anyone and knows that sooner or later he will be betrayed. Therefore, he believes that it is better for him to violate principles and oaths than to get a knife in the back. Cunning, cruel, cold-blooded - these are the characteristics of Kashchei from the series “The Boy’s Word”. The character does not hesitate to deal with those who stand in his way, and does not even give a discount to his assistants. The hero has the basic character traits that allowed him to take a leading role in the gang. He is charismatic, has the ability to convince people and convey information correctly, and has organizational skills.

Attitude towards others:

Kashchei has no friends. The hero prefers to be at the top of the hierarchy of a teenage gang and not get close to anyone. The character leads a destructive lifestyle. He drinks and takes drugs, so marginalized individuals gather around him. Teenagers follow his leadership because they want to be part of a mass phenomenon and are afraid of the word “chushpan”. This was the name given to those who are not members of any group, stay away from street life and devote all their time to study. One of these “chushpans” was Andrei, who was introduced to the world of Kashchei by Marat. The guy is gradually drawn into the criminal life. The convictions of neither his mother Svetlana Mikhailovna ( Yulia Alexandrova ), nor the juvenile affairs inspector Irina ( Anastasia Krasovskaya ), nor the policeman Ildar ( Anton Vasilyev ) help . A similar drama develops in the intelligent family of Andrei’s friend, in which the role of Vova and Marat’s father is played by Sergei Burunov .
