At present, an ordinary graduate of the directing department with sufficient funding can not remove your problems thesis project about Paris in the French capital, or to the country of the Rising Sun for the real frames for a film about Samurai. However, only some 30-40 years ago, the Soviet filmmakers had to literally get out, thinking out how to stay in foreign streets. As Yalta, Riga, Transcaucasia became overseas decorations for domestic cinema - further in the material.
The Soviet period in the history of many of the modern state is not only industrialization and collectivization, but also great achievements in art. Perhaps the most significant reservoir of cultural heritage has become a cinema. After the films of those years caused unimaginable excitement. Although the conditions in which Soviet filmmakers filmed their masterpieces, not to be envied, especially in the film adaptation of the works of foreign authors or conventional travel abroad.
After all, they not only had to take care of themselves shooting, but also very long to find a place for nature, similar to those described in the novel. Because take a film crew to the country in question, it is simply unrealistic.

According to the filmmakers, some places in the northern capital of Russia, St. Petersburg, very similar to the old castles and streets of London and Paris.
Of course, some places it is hard to know, because the city grew in size, and which used to be a park or a suburb, now located in densely populated areas.
In the scenes of the third part of the picture you can find not only houses, but also Cavendish Square (Pushkinskaya street), and the road to the home of Ronald Adair ( "Tolstoy House" on the corner of the street and Fontanka Rubinstein), and the house of Ronald Adair (summer residence of the Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich Pushkin), as well as the famous bridge on Baker Street (Castle Street), and even the fence (on English Lane Moika Embankment).
It is worth noting that recently all the full-scale scenes of the new film "The Three Musketeers", under the leadership of Sergei Zhigunov, were filmed here.
2. Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia)
Given the fact that in Soviet times, the architecture of the Baltic republics are radically different from other "12 Sisters," and even then was called "Our foreign countries", the main European scenes filmed right here. For example, the same well-known and beloved film "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson" actively acted on the streets of Riga (Latvia).
Director Igor Maslennikov here also found a lot of interesting places and mansions, where they rented the most famous episodes, up to the house in which he lived Sherlock Holmes. And replacement of the world-famous address, street Jauniela, 22.
And on the streets and Hobusepea Pikk in Tallinn (Estonia) filmed favorite and the most mysterious part of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Hound of the Baskervilles" in 1981. And not just the street attracted director and historically iconic buildings: Riga Esplanade Park, the Latvian Academy of Arts, the building of the Russian Geographical Society, and others.
Jauniela Street in Riga was the Flower Street Bern (Switzerland) in the legendary film Tatiana Lioznova "Seventeen Moments of Spring "- that is on it is the same safe house, where the Gestapo ambushed Professor Pleischner. On the pavement of the "Swiss" street and broken his life.

For the filming of nature with Eastern exoticism directors and his group went to the republics of Transcaucasia. Cult comedy film directed by Leonid Gaidai "Diamond Hand" was shot in the capital of Azerbaijan - Baku. The famous falling protagonists tape happened right here (and again at 20, has not yet been filmed episode!), And fairy love shill Soviet tourists also in the narrow streets of the old town.
4. Lviv (Ukraine)
Director-producer of the Soviet adventure film "The Three Musketeers" George Yungvald-Khil'kevich as Paris wanted to shoot only Lions. Because to it has European architecture of the old part of the city, some antique objects were found even in the field.

Also in the frame hit the patio of the Armenian Cathedral, several Catholic churches, the entrance gate of the Cathedral of St. Jura and even the House of Scientists in Lviv.
In the region we found a very interesting castles, which also found a place in a nice well-known film.
5. Crimea
The most popular film set in the Soviet times served the Crimean peninsula. Its beautiful landscapes are not only delicious, but also unique, in fact combines all the natural zones of the planet.
Not worth even wander across countries and continents, to document the vast expanses of the desert, the American prairie, taiga or even the Arctic, it was only necessary to come with his crew in the Crimea. Nature and architecture, multiplied by the professionalism and skill of the directors worked wonders and masterpieces of all time.
And not only foreign scenes were shot here, but even alien and fantastic stories without any problems could capture this unique in every land. List all the movies that have been created in the Crimea is simply unrealistic, considering how fond of filmmakers to shoot films to nature here.
Russian land is famous not only great film masterpieces, but also photographers who ever captured the most incredible perspectives of life in a particular period of the country's existence. So pioneer of color photography world, a chemist and creator Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, He left behind a unique collection of color photographs of the diverse life of pre-revolutionary Russia.
