Chervona Ruta is a Soviet television film from 1971. It is considered one of the first Ukrainian film musicals to be shot in Bukovina and the Carpathian Mountains . " Tscherwona Ruta " is Ukrainian for "red diamond", "Carpathian diamond" or " Weinraute ", but is usually used as a proper name and is therefore not translated. The expression Chervona Ruta is derived from the ancient Ukrainian legend according to which the girl who finds the Chervona Ruta on Ivan Kupala Day will be lucky in love.
action
A young Carpathian girl, Oksana, and the young miner, Boris from Donetsk , get to know each other on the Donetsk – Verkhovyna train . The young travelers fall in love, and the plot revolves around their relationship. In the Carpathians, their fates take different paths, but Boris still manages to find out where the beautiful Oksana is. The young couple in love meet again and their friends invite them to perform a concert for vacationers. Oksana and Boris educate everyone about their feelings in the songs they sing.
background
In 1971 Sofia Rotaru was a well-known singer from Bukovina . She sang and sings pop folk songs. In the first Ukrainian musical film Tscherwona Ruta , which was filmed in the Carpathian Mountains, she got the main role. Ukrainian folklore completed the rather simple plot of love between the simple miner Boris and the beautiful Oksana.
The popular song Tscherwona Ruta was sung by Vasily Sinkevich in the film. Sofia Rotaru sang the song Grauer Vogel - the Italian hit song Immensità translated into Ukrainian - as well as Draw me the night and autumn is near and in a duo with Sinkewitsch Wodograj .
First, Sinkevich and Rotaru, who sang tenor and alto , should also sing the song Wodograj together. However, in the opinion of the producers, that didn't sound good. Nasari Yaremchuk took over the singing in place of Sinkevich and the soloist of the ensemble 'Smeritschka Marija Issak sang for Sofia Rotaru . Yaremchuk and Issak also appear in the film: Yaremchuk sings a track at the beginning of the concert, the soloist Marija Issak is the fifth in the series of girls who appear in the film for a few seconds during this track. The fact that the song Wodograj sung by other singers and film geplaybackt was, was only thirty years later known. The composer of the song Tscherwona Ruta Vladimir Iwasjuk also appears briefly in the film: he plays the leader of the ensemble to which Oksana belongs.
The film was made by the Ukrainian Studio for Television Films - Ukrtelefilm (Ukrainian Укртелефільм, Russian Укртелефильм). In 1967 the Central Television of the USSR began broadcasting color programs on a regular basis. However, it was not until 1977 that all programs on Soviet television were broadcast in color. The film was produced in black and white, in line with the state of color television in the USSR in 1970/71.
Tscherwona Ruta - Ten years later
In 1981 Ukrtelefilm produced a sequel to the film under the title Tscherwona Ruta - Ten Years Later (Russian: Червона Рута. Спустя 10 лет). In this film, singer and lead actor Vasily Sinkevich and singer Nasari Yaremchuk remember the original film and the shooting. Together they also sing the song Tscherwona Ruta in a new recording and present the title of the first film. There are also new songs performed by the two singers and Sofia Rotaru. Tscherwona Ruta - Ten years later it was produced in color and is 30 minutes long.
