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
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 :(

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.
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....
going to the depths (russian social media) for content is the realest thing ever

i'm reading "dostoevskij and parricide" by freud because unfortunately it's in my brothers karamazov edition and i must say, if based on what i studied in high school about him i thought he was just a person who was trying to find some logic about the topic of the human psyche but unfortunately arrived to some deeply unpleasant conclusions that were subsequently disproven (kind of a la greek philosophy), now i have the unwavering opinion that he was a callous man, and not even a very intelligent one.
one of the themes of brothers karamazov is that people are complex, they contain both the abyss of abjection and the highs of virtue at the same time. that doesn't make you either a virtuous person or a evil one. and yet freud opens this essay (essay written for an edition of brothers karamazov) by stating that since dostoevskij wrote about "people with violent tendencies" then he himself must have been a evil individual, and therefore all the (documented) love he had for other people must be fake and simulated, and of course, "symptom of neurosis".
another theme of the book is how doctors don't really know what they're doing at best, or at worst make everything worse by ignoring facts that disprove their preconceived diagnosis. and what does freud do? he talks about dostoevskij's epilepsy (which to me is extremely absurd because how are you even trying to diagnose a person you don't know 50 years after he died), which is promptly described as another symptom of neurosis because it doesn't follow the "official symptomatology", so it's not physiological but hysterical, and it must derive from some sort of altered sexual flux (because OF COURSE it does). it doesn't matter to freud that biographical data disproves his theory of "dostoevskij's illness only relapsed during periods of emotional stress", and it doesn't even occur to him that maybe dostoevskij had an atypical epilepsy, or that freud's "symptomatology" was incorrect or lacking, or that maybe he had a totally different illness but there still wasn't a name for it so he went for the closest one. no, all this doesn't even cross this guy's mind, because he's right and the patient is always wrong. he actively dismisses everything that contradicts his premade theory with a "the patient is neurotic and can't be trusted with anything he says. also people with mental disorders are always idiots and dostoevskij wasn't an idiot so he must be hysterical".
what's really laughable (read: tragic) about this is that dostoevskij wrote a WHOLE chapter about how you can't trust psychiatrists because they will diagnose you with kookoocrazy disorder just because you looked the wrong way in their opinion, not to mention all the other ways doctors outright don't care about patients, not to mention the absolutely respectful and loving way he talked about mentally ill people, and freud wrote a whole ass essay about taking pride in acting in that same reprehensible way. an essay that was meant to be published with the book. unbelievable. tone deaf, arrogant, callous and extremely stupid too.
