Henry Ivanovich Svitten Biography
According to Klimov, Rasputin is if not a direct culprit, then certainly one of the main symbols of the fall of the Russian Empire. Vicious, greedy, insatiable - a real demon in the flesh. More than twenty years later, Andrei Malyukov, relying on recently declassified documents with the details of the investigation of the murder of Rasputin, shows the back of the legendary history. Malyukov’s “Grigory R.
could, but not saved. Rasputin performed by Vladimir Mashkov is a steppe old man and a miracle worker. Photo: Sergey Aksenov. The film is built on a parallel story of two stories: Rasputin himself and investigator Heinrich Svitten Andrei Smolyakov with a wheat mustache and in a black coat with a fur collar. This investigator, who made a career in the disclosure of murders and theft cases, is received by Sergey Gryryumov, who, as the head of the Provisional Government, held the highest post in the country at that time.
The task at first glance is simpler. Find the evidence of the depraved, criminal and simply godless acts of Rasputin in order to distract the people from other, more pressing problems of falling apart in front of the country. Svitten is taken up to business with zeal-for him this is also an extra reason not to look around, not to notice that it is not today or tomorrow that the way of life will disappear.
Henry Ivanovich goes on a trip to Russia to personally meet with the immediate environment of Rasputin. With all of them - from the widow to the former court lady - he conducts not so much an interrogation as a sympathetic conversation.

Preferring a whisper to prayer to a drunken scream. His miracles - like healing the wound on the hand of Maria's daughter from the whip of smoker men - he creates, as it were, by the way. Although immediately after falling down from fatigue.

This manner is justified by the very principle of the story: about the life of Rasputin, as well as about his miracles, we learn from the stories of living witnesses. Among which are ordinary men and delicate young ladies, who are easy to suspect of excessive impressionability.
On the other hand, the script that Eduard Volodarsky also began to work on, the events restored according to the documents that were recently classified. The absolutely reliable Diary of Vyrubova was published only in the year. There are many reliable memories, there is a real report of the investigator Rudnev, the prototype of the hero of Svitten, who was engaged exclusively with what the character of Andrei Smolyakov did.
This source is the basis of the script. Our picture will be the first to work according to these documents. Rasputin in it is a completely new and first most reliable image in the history of cinema. Investigator Henry Svitten - Andrey Malyukov. And all because it was impossible to express everything that they wanted to the emperor, it was prosecuted. Therefore, accumulated, all this blackness and dirt was poured into Rasputin.
When you start sorting out, like beads, all the facts, it turns out that there was nothing of the invented about the “great old man”. On the contrary, it turns out that he was a person who sincerely painted for the Russian Empire, for the king, for the queen, which categorically opposed the war. He was a man with a large plus sign. And with such a tragic fate ...
