Do you hear the catch? And he is! These 5 most famous male roles in Russia were voiced by women

As you know, behind every great man there is a successful woman, and sometimes this rule even extends to cinema. Russian localizers manage not only to distort the names of foreign premieres, but also to “change the gender” of their main characters. Moreover, they have been doing this since the times of the USSR.

Syroezhkin and his cybernetic twin brother in “The Adventures of Electronics” were voiced by Irina Grishina and Nadezhda Podyapolskaya. The voices of the Torsuev brothers seemed insufficiently high and sonorous to the filmmakers, which is why they had to be replaced by women.

Russian viewers of the first and third “Spy Kids” heard the voice of Tatyana Veselkina during the lines of Juni Cortez. It is paradoxical that the plump on-screen son of Antonio Banderas, who endlessly fights not only crime, but also warts, was voiced by a fragile blonde. In the second part, Veselkina was replaced by Olga Sirina.

Even Bart in the legendary “The Simpsons” was voiced by a woman. The most hooligan and disobedient of the yellow family was given the voice of Irina Savina, who, as part of her duty, repeatedly called the boyish characters.

Kevin McCallister also speaks with a female voice in the Russian version of Home Alone. In the first part this honor fell to Anastasia Girenkova, in the second part to Olga Shorokhova. Their timbre was ideal for a boy whose voice had not yet broken.

It’s hard to believe, but even Ron was voiced in all parts of “Harry Potter” by the Russian dubbing actress Olga Sirina, and you see, it’s impossible to imagine that the youngest of the men of the Weasley family on another way spoke voice.

And recently we talked about why Sirius Black, Harry Potter’s godfather, can’t be considered a good guy.
