Immediately it should be said that the film “Military Intelligence.The Northern Front "is not an independent work. This is a prequel to two other mini-series: “Military Intelligence. Western Front "and" Military Intelligence. First hit".
If in front of us the events unfoldGreat Patriotic War, then in the first in chronology, but shot last (such is the “twist” of the franchise creators) the film deals with the period preceding the war with Finland and, actually, the Finnish campaign. Here, our heroes are only taking the first steps, learning in the intelligence school: the first steps in getting to know and lapping each other, the first steps in mastering the basics of “craft”. The structure in all three seasons is the same: each consists of three films in two series in each. Nevertheless, one cannot say that “Military intelligence. The Northern Front” is a serial.
We will be familiar
So, the Northern Front. Military intelligence is preparing its personnel near Leningrad. Almost by the side of the future enemy.
Главные персонажи, сквозные для всех трёх частей, - undoubted luck of the authors. This is a young radio operator Alexei Teneshev, yesterday's student at a Moscow university, a Belarusian, Mihas Sushkevich, a simple country boy who got into intelligence, so to speak, at the behest of his heart. Intelligent Klim Pavlovsky, a clever polyglot, he has no equal in hand-to-hand combat - he is an experienced military man, behind his shoulders is Spain. Not immediately (at first he lies in the hospital, then he performs a responsible assignment), but it was Klim who would later lead the group, for which the first great test would be the Northern Front. Military intelligence is somewhat suspicious of this hero: he is the son of an "enemy of the people." But the mentor of Klima and his immediate superior, Viktor Korneev, stands a mountain behind his student and does not allow him to be offended. There is another image - the deputy head of the intelligence school, Captain Dubko, he leads the group at first. It is impossible not to say about practically the only representative of the weaker sex in this assembly of real men. Sniper Rita Brusnikina is unrequitedly in love with Alexey and therefore she desperately seeks to fight side by side with the object of her passion.
Both beginners and leading figures
“Military intelligence.The Northern Front ”is a film that in no way pretends to an unconditional historical identity to the events of the Soviet-Finnish war. After all, it is, above all, a work of art in which the scene of action is the Northern Front; military intelligence is, so to speak, the “main driving force” of the plot. The most valuable thing is that the picture in the traditions of the best Soviet and Russian war tapes teaches you to love your Motherland, to be a faithful comrade, for whom the life of a friend is more important than your own. Many adventures will fall to the lot of the group. One of them, for example, is associated with the capture of a seasoned Finnish sniper (known codenamed White Fox), who killed more than one hundred of our commanders. It is good that the authors of the epic “Military Intelligence” have chosen practically unknown actors to play the central roles of Teneshev and Mikas, therefore they are perceived as just “their own” guys, just one of us. Klima played Pavel Trubiner, who appeared in many TV shows. This image compares favorably with those created by him in the "Diary of a Doctor Zaitsev" (unlucky lover of the main character) or in "The Island of Unwanted People" (hired killer). There is something to play here. Well, the role of the most experienced Korneyev is rightfully given to the venerable Boris Shcherbakov. How many military and courageous people have been replayed to them - do not count! Welcome to the Northern Front! Military intelligence will give heat to the enemy!
