VERTINSKY TV SERIES
A SONGBIRD FROM RUSSIA
We are still in Europe, while Hollywood is sleeping. I really did not expect that the trailer for new Russian period set series VERTINSKY would be so good,
but it is as you can see below. The incredible story of the Russian chansonier Alexander Vertinsky is airing in eight episodes on Russian national network after streaming on their Kion, on line cinema. The large scale project about the fate of the artist whose life and creativity were full of drama, as well as the XX century itself, is one of their most expensive series ever. The famous chansonier, his voice was listened to by both European monarchs and wounded soldiers of the two world wars. He experienced poverty and luxury, concerts in restaurants and big scenes, long emigration.![]()

THE MOST FAMOUS RUSSIAN SINGER OF THE 20TH CENTURY
The story of an artist who left Russia in 1919 and returned to the USSR in 1943, at the height of the Second World War. Vertinsky lived, sang and was
popular in Constantinople, Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Harbin, Shanghai and Moscow. He was loved by beautiful women, he was applauded by royalty and thieves. He was a bohemian man, light and cheerful. However, this picture is primarily about his kindness. About the ability not to judge, but to sympathize with anyone. And for this fate gave him great success and late family happiness. "Vertinsky" is a story about how a songbird, an artist, a frivolous creature can live a life that arouses both envy and respect! He is played by Aleksei Filimonov.
