Where was Twelve Chairs filmed

The filming of the comedy took place in Moscow, Rybinsk, on the Volga, in Pyatigorsk, Yalta, Essentuki and Batumi. All these cities made the movie diverse and showed how the characters visited the most different parts of the country - from Moscow to Batumi. Rybinsk played Stargorod, Pyatigorsk played “failure”, and Yalta and Batumi added a southern flavor to make it clear: the life of the heroes is full of adventure and adventurism.

Streets of Stargorod

In movie

Scene where Ostap meets Ostap on the streets of the colorful little Stargorod, which is bathed in bustle and a multitude of shops. From the first minutes we hear already so familiar, which have become winged, phrases of the main character. Our adventurer tries on a new role in order to mislead the unfortunate merchant.
Timing: 00:03:13

Real

Scene was shot in Rybinsk, it played the role of a small provincial town - its architecture and compact buildings fit perfectly into the image of this place. Cozy streets and old houses perfectly conveyed the atmosphere of Stargorod, and the local color became an excellent background for the comical and slightly absurd events that occur to the characters. Rybinsk turned out to be a real "frame" find for the movie, adding to it the very provincial charm that is so important for the plot.

Madame Gritsatsueva's house

In movie

Scene where Kisa and Ostap visit Madame Gritsatsueva's house. Naturally, not for nothing, but under the guise of a sanitary inspection. So it is difficult to call them welcome guests. But, of course, with such visitors it is necessary to be polite and courteous, especially when Ostap (oops, the sanitary inspector) turns on his charm at full power.
Timing: 00:31:52

Real

Scene was shot The House of Madame Gritsatsueva is a charming mansion in Rybinsk, which we have already come to love. Unfortunately, at the moment this building is in a deplorable condition. On the other hand - readers have the opportunity to purchase this object and become the owner of a delightful establishment - "Bokolei" already with your surname.

Monk Berthold Schwarz's dormitory

In movie

Scene where At exactly 11 o'clock Moscow time our friends arrive in the capital. How good it is that Ostap has his "good people" everywhere, who can shelter him in perhaps not the most luxurious, and sometimes even resembling a feudal village, but a cozy place. As the saying goes, we are close together, but not in spite of each other.
Timing: 00:47:04

Real

Scene was shot Here the hostel played a building on Starokonyushenny Lane in Moscow. This building was unfortunately ruined by a fire. The house has been externally restored, but the inside is now deserted and sad. Again, the possibilities are open!
