Soldier Ivan Brovkin
Synopsis
This exhilarating two-part film (âSoldier Ivan Brovkinâ and âIvan Brovkin on the State Farmâ) presented to the country a new national hero â kind, modest, charming and⌠neâer-do-well. That âneâer-do-well-nessâ proved âKharitonovâs special key to audiencesâ heartsâ. Following Brovkinâs appearance on the screen, Kharitonov had become a star of the national cinema, an idol for millions of people. His incredible popularity may be compared to that of another national hero â the worldâs first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. And not surprisingly, it was Kharitonov who made a cameo appearance going up the festival stairs and followed with the adoring eyes of the heroines in V. Menshovâs Oscar-winning melodrama âMoscow Does Not Believe in Tearsâ.
