Пророк. История Александра Пушкина
Year: 2025
Genre: Historical
Country: Russia
<p>The film, dedicated to the life and fate of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, covers the key moments of his journey - from his young years spent at the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum to the tragic duel that ended his life. Filming took place in unique historical locations in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, many of which opened their doors to filmmakers for the first time. Among the locations are the Palace Stables in Peterhof, as well as the Rose Pavilion in Pavlovsky Park, known for its exquisite architecture. Much of the scenes were filmed in magnificent palaces such as the Yusupov, Stroganov and Marble palaces, each of which is a jewel of Russia's cultural heritage. Some episodes were filmed in the State Archive of the Navy, as well as in the courtyard of the State Academic Chapel. Special attention was paid to the places connected with Pushkin's work and life: the Memorial Museum-Apartment on the Moika River Embankment, 12, where the poet spent his last days, and the Mikhailovskoye Museum-Reserve, which became the final point of the filming process. Each of these locations not only helped to reproduce the environment in which Pushkin lived, but also became an independent hero of the movie, conveying the atmosphere and aesthetics of the bygone era.</p>

Real
Scene was shot in the courtyard of the building of the State Academic Chapel of St. Petersburg, located on the embankment of the Moika River. The courtyard of the Chapel is a spacious and cozy space, hidden from the bustle of the city. It is paved with cobblestones, preserved since the time of construction, which adds to the historical charm of the place. The facade of the building is decorated with laconic decor typical of the Classicist era: graceful pilasters, large windows with arched endings and a strict cornice give the building a majestic, but at the same time refined look.
River
In movie
Scene where The frozen river has become a kind of road on which people walk. The ice is covered with a thin layer of fresh snow, glistening under the dim light of the winter sun. Boats lined up along the banks, densely covered with snow and ice.
Real
Scene was shot on one of the most picturesque waterways of St. Petersburg. This narrow and winding river with a length of about 5 kilometers runs through the heart of the city, framing architectural masterpieces of the XVIII-XIX centuries. The banks of the Moika are lined with granite and decorated with elegant cast-iron fences, typical of the urban architecture of that time. Along the river there are historical buildings, such as palaces, mansions and houses of profit, which preserve the atmosphere of St. Petersburg of Pushkin's time. One of the main attractions on its banks is the famous Peter the Great House and the Pushkin Memorial Apartment at 12 Moika Street.
