Danila Bagrov from the film “Brother” is named the main movie hero for Russians

Danila Bagrov from the film “Brother” performed by Sergei Bodrov Jr. became the main movie character for Russians. This was stated by the General Director of Gazprom-Media Holding Alexander Zharov, Vedomosti writes.

He pointed out that, according to the respondents interviewed, Bagrov embodies three key traits of national character - justice, perseverance and breadth of soul. In the 1990s, his popularity was associated with a demand for justice, and today Bagrov embodies the demand for a hero who is “loyal to his own, does not ignore the misfortune of others and does not act for the sake of public recognition.”

Earlier, People's Artist of Russia Viktor Sukhorukov, who played in two parts of the film “Brother,” indicated that the hero of Bodrov Jr. is “an image of the era.” “This is not a person. He is the image of the era. It should be viewed not through Hollywood analogies, not through ideology, nor through politics. Those who see some kind of politics in the film are idiots. This is the time,” said the actor.
