Soon viewers will see the adventure action film “Treasures of the Scythians,” starring Linda Lapinsh. The actress, who took on the role of the Russian Lara Croft on screen, attended the “Pilot” for the first time and confessed from the stage that the filming of “Treasures,” which took place in Abkhazian caves, was not easy: "During the scenes, we were fighting off bats, breathing in mind-blowing hydrogen sulfide..." This time, the producers decided not to burden her with complicated stunts, as they did in the project “GDR.” "There, my character died by jumping from the fourth floor. It was 4 or 5 in the morning, the end of the shift, it was hard to set up the camera, so I decided to do it myself. Of course, with safety measures and mats. But the floor was the fourth. And I did it," recalled Lapinsh, assuring that “Treasures of the Scythians” would be no less exciting. Linda Vadimovna Lapinsh (1988) is a Russian film actress, star of the series “Survival Game,” “Master,” “Exes,” “Police Officer from Rublyovka in Beskudnikovo,” “Crime,” and “Scythe.” The actress has Baltic roots. Her mother, Ilona Navinskayte, is from Lithuania, and her father, Vadim Lapinsh, is from Latvia. They are now divorced; the actress's mother lives in Yekaterinburg, while her father moved to Riga. Linda's family frequently changed their place of residence: for about six years, the girl lived with her parents in the United Arab Emirates, one year in Spain, and six months in France, until the family finally settled in Russia. Linda's surname was supposed to sound different – Lapinya, as the Latvian surname Lapinsh is the masculine variant. Since the girl received her passport in Russia, the registrar, without delving into the complexities of Latvian surname formation, recorded Linda by her father's name. But, as the actress recalled, "my parents didn’t care about it, so now there is a woman in the world with a masculine surname."
