Nikolay Naumov

In the film "Real Boys vs. Zombies" (2020), actor Nikolai Naumov returns to his iconic role as Kolyan Naumov. The film presents an alternative development of the main series, where Perm faces a large-scale zombie apocalypse. Character Storyline: Personal Crisis: On the eve of the epidemic, Lera (Zoya Berber) decides to leave Kolyan, believing their relationship has reached a dead end and has stopped progressing. Kolyan is far more concerned about divorce than the walking dead roaming the city. New Reality: A year after the start of the "Komi-Permyak virus" pandemic, Perm is blockaded by the military. Kolyan, along with his friends Vovan and Antokha, adapts to the post-apocalypse: they lead a normal life and clear the streets of zombies themselves. Main Conflict: Trying to win his wife back, Kolyan invites Lera to a restaurant for their wedding anniversary. On his way to a date, a girl is bitten by an infected person. To save his beloved from inevitable transformation, Kolyan undertakes a mission to find a cure and save his hometown. Characteristics of the film: The film largely parodies classic zombie horror films, particularly Shaun of the Dead. Nikolai Naumov's character retains his key traits from the sitcom—innocence, boyish principles, and devotion to his family—but in the face of extreme danger, he proves himself a true hero.
