The heir to the prototype did not hide his indignation.
The detective series “Liquidation” made a huge splash. Quotes from David Gotsman have become popular, and the character himself has become recognizable and iconic. However, not everyone is delighted with the sensational creation of Sergei Ursulyak and the key character.
Thus, Anatoly Kurlyand attacked the series with angry criticism. His father David Mikhailovich became the prototype of Gotsman. When writing the script, the creators of “Liquidation” relied on his diaries, which greatly offended Anatoly Davidovich. But this is not the only thing that outraged Kurland to the core.
“Not only was the plot of the film “ripped off” from my father’s diaries, but also his image was completely distorted,” – the son of the famous Odessa resident complained.
According to him, Mashkov is completely different from David Mikhailovich. The only thing the creators didn’t lie about was that the police lieutenant colonel really was a menace in the criminal world. But everything else that happens in the series is pure fiction of the writers.
While preparing for the role, Vladimir Lvovich did not even meet Kurland’s family and did not find out what his hero was like in real life. Anatoly Davidovich was disappointed with Mashkov’s performance, which showed Gotsman as an insensitive robot obsessed with catching criminals. Kurland called the actor’s work a disgrace.
