The main stars of the Sklifosovsky series have been filming in the project for more than ten years. And, of course, this story affects everyone in their own way. So, actress Anna Yakunina said that some Russians seriously considered her an employee of a medical facility.

Many artists believe that there is nothing worse than becoming a hostage to one role. In the history of not only domestic, but also world cinema, there have been cases when artists began to hate their most stellar roles only because they might not eventually get rid of the ill-fated role. This is the Soviet “Shurik” Alexander Demyanenko, Macaulay Culkin from the New Year’s American film “Home Alone”, Fedor Dobronravov, who played Ivan Budko in “Matchmakers” … The list can be long.

It is still difficult to call Maxim Averin a hostage to the role of Oleg Bragin from Sklifosovsky. If only because at the moment a certain part of the Russian population still remembers this actor as the main character from the TV series “Capercaillie”. However, that police project is long gone, but the medical drama, even ten years following its launch, is still gaining popularity among the people. So, if “Sklifosovsky” lasts on the screens for at least another three years, then there is a possibility that Averin will remain Bragin for the public.

However, Maxim has already begun to get into not very pleasant situations related to the medical drama. So, during one of the performances, the spectator, either unable to resist, or on purpose, greeted Averin to the whole hall, calling him Oleg Bragin. The artist spoke regarding this in the studio of Andrey Malakhov’s program “Hi, Andrey” on the air of the Russia 1 channel.

“Two days ago I was playing the play “Forest”. Ostrovsky, bows, I play Neschastlivtsev. Suddenly I hear from the hall: “Bragin!” Then the woman came up and said that she was screaming, ”said Maxim.

Popularity among the stars of “Sklifosovsky” among the people is now going through the roof. And sometimes it really causes problems for the team of the series. So, when they filmed special episodes in Sochi, people did not let the actors and cameramen work in peace. But during those shifts that the artists themselves dubbed “hellish”, Averina, Kulikova, Ilyina and the rest were not easy without outside interference.
