my life is reeses pieces

GUYS!! i had this post on drafts for so long since 2023,

I was supposed to upload every single one of my findings-there were actually so many, but a lot of things happened in that time so I just stopped :(

So here it is!!!

previous post

first post

behind the scenes of Crime and Punishment (2007) directed by Dimitri Svetozaeov (Преступление и наказание by Дмитрий Светозаров)…

This photo is actually VERY crisp clear quality - idk if tumblr shows it. but it's very defined !!!!

Here with Razumikhin - Sergey Peregudov (Сергей Перегудов)

Dunya - Polina Filonenko (Полина Филоненко)

Pulcheria Alexandrovna - Elena Yakovleva (Елена Яковлева)

I FOUND ANOTHER PHOTO OF RAZUMIKHIN!!!

It’s with Dunya as well 🥹🥹🥹

Theyre so ADORABLE!! I literally squealed when I first saw this 😭😭😭

These are photos I believe were taken by the photographer...

I also can't find a higher resolution of that picture with Raskolnikov and Sonya together - so there are two photos, differing in color and resolution. 🥲

There's this photo with most of the cast, which I think was during the scene with Luzhin at the Crystal Palace...... (not everyone is here) people usually do this sorta thing upon finishing the whole filming...

This makes me wonder if they have a photo of the whole cast together????? I can't find any tho. :((((

this wooden block is evil

Fun Fact:

The scene where Raskolnikov kills the pawnbroker:

There were a lot of malfunctions throughout filming the scene lmao

Vladimir Koshevoy (Сергей Перегудов), who acts as Raskolnikov, swings his axe at the wooden mannequin (there was also a rubber replica of Alyona Ivanova’s head); but the axe broke apart and flung throughout the room.

It's not just that, it's also that as he hits the wood - the make-up artist splashed paint to mimic the blood splatter, but that caused a natural reaction within Koshevoy and he fainted 😭😭😭😭 (this is a fact that is apparently well-known among Russian fans).

He also fainted again in the scene of ‘killing’ Lizaveta. Koshevoy himself said that he got too into character that– even though he knew it was fake blood that poured through mini plastic tubes– he was surprised that it happened so naturally, which had also scared the whole crew. 💀💀💀

I SHOULDVE TAKEN A PHOTO BUT i went to a really cool secondhand bookstore

and it had sO MUCH RUSSIAN CLASSICAL LITERATURE HARDBOUUNDDSSS

I was so tempted to buy everything oml

I almost bought $30 worth (cuz each hardbound costed $10, pretty good imo) on 3 volumes of Tolstoy’s War and Peace 😭😭😭

I got Dostoyevsky’s Poor Folk and The Gambler instead 😭😭😭

tho there was also like 2 volumes of The Possessed I could’ve bought 😀😀

THAT A YOUNG MAN HAD LEFT A CLOSET 🫡

OHHHH MY GODDDD

its in USD so its so expenSIVEEE

9 IN STOCK LEFT 💀💀

Does anyone know??

I heard that it used to be on Amazon Prime— but they took it down?!?!??

And I can’t find it anywhere to watch it on :((((

if anyone knows where to watch this (+bonus if theres eng subs) lmk plEAASEEE I BEG YOUUUUU

UPDATE:

ITS ON VK (Russian facebook 💀💀💀) - BUT THERES NO ENG SUBS

BUT THIS COPYY HAS ENGLISH SUBTITLESSSS

I’ve recently just sacrificed my life and soul to McDonalds and I have an interview on thursday

IM SORRY IM ON GAP YEAR SO I HAVE SO MUCH FREE TIME

Like with the interviews I read and videos I watched of him and everything… I began to admire him more and more 😭😭😭

He’s also an ally of the lgbtq+ (he played two gay characters: Felix Yusupov in ‘Grigory R’, and Hurricane Rita in ‘Leo & Hurricane’), despite the prejudice in Russia. He isn’t ashamed of it!!! Especially in his age (he’s 46 atm, time flies), so I HIGHLY respect him for that.

Lol idkkkk

I know that this friend request is nothing (cuz it’s a public profile) but it makes me so happy that he acknowledged me somewhat 😭😭😭💀💀

Might even start a fanbase page of him— sorry being a bit too much a fanatic here

I wanna see his films but idk Russian.

Too bad, I’ll just keep on using google translate I guess 🥲

FAVOURITE INTERVIEW EXCERPTS FROM HIM

LMAO I FOUND THIS ON HIS KV

Koshevoy with (famous, but also controversial 🥲) actor Alain Delon in 2009…

THE COMMENTS ARE FUNNY — I JUST WANTED TO SHARE 😭😭😭

I TRIED MY BEST 😭😭😭😭😭

I even put his lines from the book (the Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky version) into his definition 😭😭 (I KNOW ITS BAD, I’ll consider switching his dialogue more suited to the Constance Garnett one when I get my hands on that ver of the book 🥲)

if anyone wanna try it............ it's right here LMAO

I CANT GET OVER IT

I SAID “MAYBE I SHOULDVE GIVEN YOU THOSE 20 POINTS”

AND MY SISTER REPLIED “that would’ve made no difference”

next post

Continuing on the behind the scenes of Crime and Punishment (2007) directed by Dimitri Svetozaeov (Преступление и наказание by Дмитрий Светозаров)…

here is the video that I talked abt in the first post 😭😭 (because I can't post more than 1 in a post).

Also added the vid from the first post - in case you're new to this post ;)

HE GOT THOSE ‘HOLDING AND WAVING THE AXE AROUND’ DANCE MOVES

Fun Fact:

The actor, Vladimir Koshevoy (Владимир Кошевой) who plays Raskolnikov, was suggested to find and listen to music- specified for each episode- in order to get in character and determine the behavior of Raskolnikov.

Music he listened to were 'destructive' (in his opinion and he quotes, "Dostoyevsky should have everything that is, a lyrical waltz, a soul-twisting march, and an incomprehensible creak of something...").

He mentions classical music like; Vivaldi, Schnittke, Gubaidulina, Karavajchuk, Arvo Pärt, etc...

...........Is Madonna one of them?? 😳😳😳 /j

Interview with Koshevoy

god this song slaps so much

i noticed that on Koshevoy’s instagram and vk, he listens to Muse and Panic at the Disco 😭😭😭

I believe that these were the costume tests for the series. They're all so cute sobsosbosbobsob

Somehow I can't find the other actors costume tests :(

that jacket looks so comfy ngl

he got that palmerston hat fit

HES SO FINE

Screen tests!!!!!

THIS SCREAMS 2000s SO MUCH AAAAAAAA

Koshevoy - Raskolnikov with St Petersburg's 'The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood' behind him..... edgelord.

RASKOLNIKOV WITH A FLIP PHONE BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Potential meme material

I think he's up to something guys 🤔

I THINK THE PHOTOGRAPHER FELL IN LOVE WITH KOSHEVOY LMAO

i'm in love with him too 😳😳😳😳

have no idea what they're doing here 😭😭

he is silly goofy your honor 🥲

hes like me fr

here is some more photos that the photographer took--

AND NOW I HAVE REACHED THE 30 PHOTO LIMIT........

stay tuned for the next post! :D

the next post

OK GUYS

I noticed that no one has ever posted on the behind the scenes of Crime and Punishment, 2007 by director Dimitri Svetozaeov (Преступление и наказание by Дмитрий Светозаров)….

So I took the reigns and ventured into the DEPTHS (i mean me literally going on every russian social media I came across; VK, Yandex, ok.ru… for the entire day because I have a lot of free time) to find these photos 🥲🥲

I've really been trying to find high-quality stills, but it's all mixed up... some have watermarks, some have CRISP, CRYSTAL CLEAR quality, some have absolute dump fire resolution lmao-

hyper-fixation honestly real

I figured you guys needed it (i needed it too agshdjnf)

Fun fact:

I also read a bunch of interviews and news articles (unfortunately, idk Russian so I used google translate).

During the bridge scene after Raskolnikov leaves Razumikhin’s room, he gets whipped for walking in the middle of the road:

Apparently, the actor of Raskolnikov - Vladimir Koshevoy (Владимир Кошевой) almost suffocated because the whip wrapped around his throat. He ended up with a red mark on his neck and the makeup artists had to cover it for a week.💀💀

You might be wondering how this happened: he was meant to wear these plastic ‘shields’ underneath, but they had to take it off because it was visible on camera. They couldn’t hit him on the back without these protections - so they hit him near the arm but— yeah.

Interview with Koshevoy

Raskolnikov in the Crystal Palace with Luzhin - played by Aleksey Vasilev (Алексей Васильев)

you can see the camera crew in the background hehe

do yous fear him? yous scared???? his coat has an inner pocket...

Finding images with Razumikhin, played by Sergey Peregudov (Сергей Перегудов) were so DIFFICULT. I find it weird because alongside Koshevoy-

he literally carried the series on his b a c k... like he has a crucial role, his acting was phenomenal, and he really fine-

I kind of think the lack of photos has to do with some deletion of sites... I noticed that a few sites the photos were linked to were broken :(

Also— I always thought Razumikhin’s jacket was a lighter shade of black (compared to Raskolnikov). I didn’t know it was GREEN.

Sonya Marmeladov, played by Polina Filonenko (Полина Филоненко) she's adorable <3

'Dunya', or Dunechka, played by Katerina Vasilyeva (Катерина Васильева)

the way she hides her face behind the script... she's so cute... 🥹🥹

the red eyes really give it that 2000s-esque...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!DANCE BREAK TIME AFTER KILLING THE OLD WOMAN PAWNBROKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEYRE LISTENING TO MADONNA BOPS

Tumblr won't let me add a second video, so I'll just place this here in a gdrive + the first video, just for you all and you can download it <3

ALSO

Tumblr won't let me post more photos, so I will continue this on another post!!! 🫡🫡

Also if you guys happen to have like.... english subtitles to the series... or more photos/videos of behind-the-scenes... that would be nice if you could tell me....

HELLO

I went on a conquest (in russian google 💀💀 aka YANDEX) to find as many Crime and Punishment (2007) sources I can… And found this edit 😳😳😳 (NOT MINE)

So. ILL MAKE RAZUMIKHIN AND RASKOLNIKOV FANART.

😡😡😡😡😡😡
