| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] The Battle of Poltava, the fortress and villages of the times of Peter I will be recreated by filmmakers in the Belgorod region. Here 70 percent of the new filming "The Birth of an Empire" will be taken, the press service of the regional government reported on September 14. The film is dedicated to the activities of Peter I after his return from Europe. Filming of the full-length film will take place in the Korochansky district, near the village of Tavrovo-10 and the Muromsky forest park in the Belgorodsky district, the villages of Yablochkovo, Dmitrievka, Grafovka and Dobroe in the Shebekinsky district. "The Belgorod region is ideal for filming. We will shoot 70 percent of our entire film here, and the rest will be filmed in St. Petersburg, Hungary and Germany. But all the most interesting scenery and locations will, of course, be here in Begorod, because your region is famous for its landscape. It will be a non-classical historical film, but rather even an adventure one, in order to attract a larger audience of viewers," said director Alexei Nuzhny. Residents of the region will be allowed to tryout as extras. And they will try to keep the scenery to attract tourists. "It is necessary to make efforts to the regional department of construction, to help the film crew with the beginning of the installation of these objects. It is important for us that after the filming of the film there is a legacy for the region, new tourist routes appear," said Acting Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. The premiere of the film "The Birth of an Empire" is scheduled for the end of 2022. In 2018, the feature film "Union of Salvation" was filmed in the Belgorod Region. That film was about the Decembrist Revolt. |
