  2. Konstantin is a very good dramatic actor. He is famous for his roles in this genre of the cinema. Especially, among the others, his work in the movie "The Admiral" impressed me greatly. It is very important to my mind if you chose a historical film then the thriller or blockbuster. Though the series of the films "The Night Watch" was the revolution work in the Russian cinema industry from my point of view.
