To have her revenge on men, she tortured and murdered over a hundred innocent peasants. \u201cShe has a strong rage inside,\u201d Snigir says. \u201cAnd she can\u2019t control it. But she suffers from this disorder, and it was interesting for me to find the zones of reflection, regret and her inner efforts trying to justify herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for the part, Snigir read a lot about the life of the real person she was portraying. \u201cIn real life, [Darya Nikolayevna] Saltykova was a very sick person,\u201d she says. \u201cI used this knowledge while playing her but I was curious to find the logic in her actions. So, the history was not very helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the so-called \u201cblood widow\u201d got caught, was stripped of all her titles and sentenced to life in a monastery prison. \u201cThough <em>The Blood Widow <\/em>is a loose interpretation of Russian history, it is still based on it and brings up the question of the serfdom, for example,\u201d Snigir says. \u201cAlso, we [examine] the effect of the traumas received in childhood, nature of anger, betrayal and other themes that any person from any country would understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The global resonance of a series like <em>The Blood Widow <\/em>is supported by an increasing openness in the international marketplace for series from all over the world\u2014there are truly no borders for a good story these days. This openness has come as a boon for actors like Snigir. \u201cIt gives an opportunity to work with directors from all over the world, and that is very exciting,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Julia Snigir talks to World Screen Newsflash about starring in The Blood Widow, a drama from Russia Television and Radio that Sovtelexport is offering to the international market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":13743,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69,70],"tags":[1752,1753,4070],"class_list":["post-13742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-profiles","category-top-stories","tag-russia-television-and-radio","tag-sovtelexport","tag-the-blood-widow","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
