“Brother” is a legendary movie about the 90s starring Sergei Bodrov Jr. The film was released in 1997 and immediately became a cult classic and a symbol of Danila Bagrov’s time.
A special role in “Brother” is played by musical accompaniment. The movie features celebrity hits like Zemfira, Nautilus Pompilius, Spleen, Auction, Bi-2, Semantic Hallucinations and many more. For this we love the Balabanovskaya painting more (and before each trip we listen to St. Petersburg hymns). By the way, the musicians provided almost all the songs to the director for free.
The action of the first movie is set in St. John’s, where Danila comes to find his brother. It takes place in Petersburg. Therefore, there are a lot of cinema places in this city.
If you’re heading to the cultural capital for the May holidays (and you love Balabanov’s painting as much as we do), this material is for you. We’ve compiled a guide to places of worship worth seeing from “Brother”.
Vitebsk train station
Danila from Priozersk to Vitebsk train station St. Coming to Petersburg. The station itself hasn’t changed much since filming.
Bridge over the Winter Canal
After Danila leaves the station, he goes in search of his brother and crosses the bridge over the Winter Canal.
bronze horseman
Then it turns out that he is with the Bronze Horseman.
Saint Isaac’s Cathedral
And after a few shots already St. Close to Isaac’s Cathedral.
Kazan Cathedral
Then he passes the Kazan Cathedral and stops by the parapet. We searched for the right “column” for a very long time last year and found it thanks to the chipped corner.
Rock Island Music Store
“Girl, do you have the Wings of the Nautilus?” – with these words, Danila Bagrov enters the Rock Island music store located at 8 Kirochnaya Street. There he met the character of Bodrov, Kat. By the way, the shop is still open.
Andreevsky market
The next day, Danila finds himself in the Andreevsky market (located at the corner of 6th VO and Bugsky lane) and meets the German Hoffmann. Now this is a shopping mall.
Smolensk Lutheran cemetery
Then they go with the Germans to the Smolensk Lutheran cemetery and reach the cellar with a gazebo (where Hoffmann lived). This crypt still exists today.
Brother Danila’s house
The character of Viktor Sukhorukov lived at the address: Moika street, house 1, apt. 8. Located near the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood.
straw market
Do you remember the scene where Danila prepares to kill a Chechen bandit? So, this was filmed in Hay Market (Moskovsky Prospekt, 4a).
Follow
After the crime, Danila runs away from the bandits. This takes place in the courtyard between the Tuchkov and Volkhovsky lanes in the eastern part of Vasilevsky Island. By the way, almost nothing has changed in these courtyards since the filming of the movie.
tram depot
Fleeing from the bandits, Danila jumps on a freight tram (it will no longer be possible to drive along its route, since the tracks have long been dismantled). A few days later, he goes to the tram depot to find Sveta, who helped him hide from the bandits. The tram park is located on Sredny Prospekt and is still in operation. True, getting there is not so easy.
Hotel “Pribaltiyskaya”
There is a scene in the movie where a murderer attacks Danila. The conflict takes place in the Pribaltiyskaya Hotel on the site near the corner house. Located at the address: Korablestroiteley street, 14.
