Гатчинский дворцовый парк
Park
Open Details
Gatchina is probably the favorite place of filmmakers south of St. Petersburg. Vitaly Melnikov used the Gatchina Palace to narrate the life of Paul I (played by Viktor Sukhorukov). Another historical figure settled in the palace in 2014, when Yulia Snigir tried on the role of Catherine the Great.
Eldar Ryazanov turned Gatchina into Copenhagen during the Nazi occupation (the fairy-tale film "Andersen. Life Without Love," 2006). And in the film "Left Hand" (1987) with Kuravlyov the Gatchina Palace became for a time an English castle.
Gatchina's "unhappy" neighborhoods also attracted directors. One of these streets was featured in "Cargo 200", and for the film "Father" (2007) based on a story by A. Platonov, the Gatchina railway station was covered with artificial snow.
And the cherry on the cake: in the film "Leaving - Leave" (1978), which was filmed in several locations in Gatchina, played a real bandit P. Polezhaev - he was taken under contract from the colony.
