   CONSTANTINOPLE  

HISTORICAL SERIES TRAILER AND AIR DATE

The series starts this month in Russia

Back in March I gave you the first images from Russian new war series CONSTANT- INOPLE from director Sergei Chekalov and with our dearest Vyacheslav Chepurchenko in the lead role beside Sergei Marin and Alexander Ustyugov. Now we have the trailer and stream date of October 30th on Ivi streamer and then linear on NTV on November 3rd. 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. It is interesting that Azerbaijani capital Tbilisi served as Constantinople during the shooting of the series. Check out the visually stunning trailer below and tell us what you think. Would you watch the ten part series if you had the chance to?

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.
