Based on Pushkin's novella The Captain's Daughter, the Russian film Riot, which is based on the pugachev Riot, premiered in Moscow on April 27th, 20th13rd, causing a sensation in Russia and winning applause from western film critics.

The story of the film develops along two main lines: on the one hand, Cossacks on the Don River and Russian peasant leader pugachev launched a peasant uprising in the name of Tsar Peter III; On the one hand, there is a thrilling love story between Martha, the innocent and kind daughter of the captain, and Greene, a young aristocrat who represents the fresh blood of Russia. The whole film is not limited to the depressed nostalgic atmosphere, but more inclined to Russia's hope, and passionately depicts the feelings and struggles of the new generation of Russia at that time. A large number of magnificent mass scenes, eye-catching momentum and gripping plots make this film a masterpiece showing historical scrolls, penetrating human nature and full of passion.

The production team of Russian Riots is strong. The director of this film is the famous Russian director Aleksandr Proshkin. He devoted nearly five years to this film, and other photographers and screenwriters are also one of the best talents in Russian film industry. Besides, the most attractive part of this film is the actor Vladimir Mashkov, who plays the soul figure pugachev.

At first glance, it is difficult to connect the bearded man in the photo with the handsome Mashkov, but if you carefully observe his sly and penetrating eyes, you will feel deja vu. Vladimir Mashkov plays Toyan in the film Thief co-produced by Russia and France. His wonderful performance in Thief won unanimous applause from both male and female fans. Strong physique, chiseled, handsome and flawless face, provocative warm and gentle eyes and strong control all deeply reflect Mashkov's male charm.

Mashkov's success on the road to stardom was accomplished by two new Russian directors-the thriller Limit by Denis Yevsky Gneyev (1994) and the romantic movie Night Outside Moscow by Valery Todorov (1994). In Limit, Mashkov successfully plays a computer expert who sells information to the Russian underworld. He worked with a cruel employer and an honest classmate and friend, and finally won a big deal: he got a commission and let his employer get only unencrypted disks. Mashkov's heroic face and figure, intelligent mind and sentimental heart make him a new generation of male idols in Russia. Since then, Mashkov has appeared in sensational films with profound social significance, such as Thief (l997), Two moons, Three Suns and Mother, and his fame in Russia is increasing day by day.

When the filming of "Russian Riots" started, the makeup artist of the crew said that Mashkov looks like pugachev in the script. Yin Xijin described pugachev in "The Captain's Daughter": "He is in his forties, of medium build, with thin body, gray beard, active eyes and rich facial expressions, and is close and cunning." This is simply Mashkov. "Mashkov is an excellent character actor, because pugachev in the film has multiple identities. Mashkov is a tsar for a while, a nobleman for a while, and a god in people's minds for a while. He played every role properly, which made people say absolutely ... "Director Proshkin was full of praise for Mashkov's performance.
