Stirlitz! And I ask you to stay.
The war drama takes place between February 12 and March 24, 1945. The protagonist is SS-Standartenführer Max Otto von Strillitz, also known as Soviet intelligence officer Colonel Maxim Isayev. His mission is to disrupt the Reich's nascent separate negotiations with the Western powers in the final months of the war.
To defeat an enemy, you need to understand their ideology, right? And learning this during battle is dooming yourself to defeat.
Filming took place from 1971 to 1973. The premiere was scheduled for May 9, but was postponed because General Secretary Brezhnev was visiting Germany at the time.
Don't faint, but we're all under Mueller's thumb.
The film's success was resounding. It was reported that during its broadcast, water consumption and crime rates in the USSR plummeted. The initial audience for the film was estimated at 50-80 million people. The characters' lines were widely quoted, and the characters themselves quickly entered Soviet folklore, rivaling Chapayev.
On a dark, dank night, Stirlitz walked to Dresden, barely able to make out the road. The next morning, the railway between Dresden and Berlin was completely dismantled.
At Hitler's headquarters, only Stirlitz worked part-time.
Stirlitz shot Müller in the forehead, the bullet bounced off.
"Armored!" Stirlitz realized.
To Leonid Bronevoy The role of Müller brought him nationwide fame. After the premiere, almost every time he appeared on stage, he was greeted with applause. Despite this, the character he created was far from the original—the real Müller was a skinny, dark-haired man—the film crew simply didn't have any real photos. But Oleg Tabakov outwardly he was very consistent with his character, which, according to his recollections, Vizbor/Borman, wrote Schellenberg's niece.
As for Vyacheslav TikhonovThe image of Stirlitz stuck with him for many years, much to the actor's dismay. Therefore, according to his daughter, when someone called him "Oh, Stirlitz!" he would often reply, "You're confusing me with someone else."
