But this is only part of the trouble for the matchmakers. After all, there are also twins - Nikita and Vika, who turn out to be so modern and prudent that the black clothes and "black" humor of their older sister will be insignificant in comparison with their antics.

Production

In 2008, a two-part TV movie "Svaty" was shot in Kiev. The project was not originally intended to continue, but after its success on television, it was extended for the second season (which was also filmed in a telefilm format), and then for subsequent seasons (shot in mini-series).

"Svaty 6" was to be the final season.[9][10] However, later the creators of the series said that it is possible to continue the series until the seventh season.[11] Shooting of "Svaty 7" was to begin in 2014, but because of the political situation in Ukraine were postponed.[12] In May 2015, Vladimir Zelensky said that the scenario of the seventh season has already been written, but the shooting is still postponed. One of the reasons for this was the disagreement within the film crew: Zelensky, like the whole studio "Kvartal-95", supports the Ukrainian government's side in the matter of the Crimea and the armed conflict in the Donbass, while Russian actors, including Tatyana Kravchenko (born Donetsk) and Fedor Dobronravov, adhere to other views.[13][14] In addition, Fedor Dobronravov, Lyudmila Artemyeva and Nikolay Dobrynin do not have the right to enter the territory of Ukraine.[15]

As a result, in 2017 it was decided to shoot "Svaty 7" in Belarus,[16][17] as well as in Georgia.[18] As of the end of 2017, the shooting was suspended.

On December 10, 2011, the premiere of the documentary project "Svaty: zhizn bez grima" was held on the Inter TV channel.[19]
