Change language:
4.2 million people reached every month, thousands of subscribers – High School introduced a new genre to the world of internet starting out from Hungary. Globoport.hu writes that the online series went on with making the Romanian and Russian versions of High School, all with the help of the Hungarian Trade & Cultural Centre (HTCC). The Russian series was presented to the press in the Café 57 restaurant on Pusztaszeri Road.
The team of High School started shooting the episodes of the Russian series after achieving great successes in Hungary and Romania. The story is basically the same, but it is adopted to local conditions. Naturally, the characters are played by different actors in different ways. But all characters have their “twins”, for instance, Krisztosz, the shouting P.E. teacher is played by Andrej Molotkov, a Russian actor of merit, and is named Sergej in the series.
He also came to the Hungarian premiere and played a shouting contest with his Hungarian colleague. It turned out to be a tie. But the Hungarian Barbi’s Russian equivalent, actress pupil Julija Krilova, who is the student of Andrej Molotkov at the university, also attended the premiere along with other stars of the series. They are planning to start the promotion of the series in Russia after 2-3 episodes. However, it seems like Средняя школа, launched on the 30th of October, is already a success among the Russian youth.
