The series began broadcasting in 2004. However, time does not stand still and only nostalgic memories remain from the good old series. Today we will get acquainted again with the actors of the series “Soldiers” and find out how their fate turned out. It became very popular, so the creators of the project decided to extend it for sixteen seasons. The series was watched by people of all ages and social statuses. Everyone was interested in watching the lives of the soldiers, who experienced sad moments, and joyful ones, and funny ones, and sad ones. The series brought popularity to the actors, but some never managed to make it further.
Alexander Lymarev
The actor played the role of Mikhail Medvedev. He managed to perfectly play the Moscow major, whose vision of life is radically different from others. Before filming began, Alexander was already a fairly famous artist, but he did not act in films, but danced. From an early age, Alexander has been practicing Irish step dance, and at the age of thirteen he even became a bronze medalist in competitions. He entered the Shchukin School on advice. He was predicted to have an acting future, and he decided to take a risk. After the series “Soldiers” was published, Lymarev woke up famous. He was bombarded with job offers. He starred in several serious films, for one of which he even received an award for Best Actor. Now Lymarev rarely acts in films, but still pleases his fans from time to time. He doesn’t talk about his personal life often, but he doesn’t deny that he has a beloved wife, with whom he has been together for many years. A few years ago, the actor’s fans were seriously afraid for him. In April 2015, Lymarev was beaten in one of the nightclubs. He was admitted to the hospital with serious injuries, but was able to recover.
Alexey Oshurkov - Major Zubov
Still from the film
Well, let's finish our list today with the company commander, and subsequently the unit commander, Major Zubov, played by Alexey Oshurkov.
The actor has been acting in TV series and films since 1999 and became known for his work in the TV series “Fighter”, “March of Turkey”, “D. D. D,” “Nina,” “Boomer,” etc. But he gained wide fame by playing the commander of the second company, Nikolai Zubov.
After the success in “Soldiers”, he was also often called to other projects, such as “Penal Battalion”, “Hunting for Red Deer”, “Point”, “Insatiable”, “A Very Russian Detective”, “Kotovsky”, etc.
The actor hasn’t changed much in his life and still continues to act in films and TV series. As of today, he is 51 years old and there is no public information about his personal life.
Ivan Mokhovikov
Ivan had already tried his hand at cinema before filming the series “Soldiers”. He starred in several episodic roles. Then Ivan received an offer to star in the series “Soldiers”. He got the role of a simple guy Kuzma Sokolov, who was a friend of the rich Misha Medvedev. Mokhovikov did an excellent job with his role. He began to receive offers from directors. And soon he appeared in other projects. The actor has more than fifty films under his belt. And this is not the limit. Now he is also actively filming. Mokhovikov is married to actress Olga Glushko. Before the birth of her child, she actively worked and played in the theater, but now Glushko is more occupied with raising her son Makar. I wonder if the boy will follow in his parents' footsteps? By the way, the actor’s wife also starred in one episode of “Soldier”. She played a nurse.
Why did the actor disappear from the screens after “Soldiers”?
Before filming the series “Soldiers,” Alexander Lymarev made his mark in the films “Honeymoon,” “Hello, Capital,” and “The Fifth Angel,” but the role of Sergeant Medvedev made him truly popular. The actor began to be recognized on the street, and directors drew attention to him.
While the series “Soldiers” was being released, Lymarev was invited to other projects, in which he agreed to participate. Basically, these were the main roles, which could have made the actor even more noticeable, but none of them brought him such popularity as Sergeant Medvedev.
And after 2014, there was a temporary lull in the career of the talented actor, due to which he did not appear on screens for some time. It's all about an accident: in one of the capital's clubs, hooligans attacked the actor and beat him. He spent some time on rehabilitation, which is why he disappeared from the directors’ radars. And as you know, joining the stream of show business again is not so easy.
