== Franchise of films and serials ''Svaty'' ==
=== ''Svaty'' (2008) ===
The young spouses Masha and Maxim Kovalev decide to go to Italy for a vacation and leave their five-year-old daughter Zhenya under the supervision of their parents, but they say they are too busy and refuse. As a result of confusion, both Masha's and Maxim's parents come to watch their granddaughter. Coming from absolutely opposite social sphere (Masha's parents — Valentina and Ivan Budko — are ordinary villagers, and Maxim's parents — Olga and Yuri Kovalyov — typical urban intellectuals with subtle manners), it turns out that they cannot stand each other. The four of them are in the same house, and they have a conflict of interests. Everyone has their own methods of upbringing. The battle for the attention of the granddaughter commences. The city-dwellers limit her in everything, and the rural couple allow many things. In-laws constantly fall into ridiculous situations, the way out of which they have to find together, which brings them closer. By the end, they nevertheless make peace with Zhenya's help.
=== ''Svaty 2'' (2009) ===
The story takes place on the eve of 8 March. Masha is in the last month of pregnancy. She and Maxim have a crisis in their relationship, and their six-year-old daughter Zhenya begins to interfere. The girl finds an original solution — she calls her grandparents. In-laws are rushing to the rescue. They try to reconcile their children, but everyone does it in their own way, as a result of which in-laws do not just quarrel with children, but also bring the family to the brink of divorce. Only the alliance of the in-laws can save their marriage. Masha gives birth to twins.
=== ''Svaty 3'' (2009) ===
Several months have passed since the events of the second part. Summer begins. Masha and Maxim leave for the [[Netherlands]], and Zhenya is left in the village of Kuchugury under the supervision of Budko. The Kovalevs come to them to help look after their granddaughter and at the same time prepare her for entering the Lyceum.
Since that moment, no less important character appears in the story — friend, cousin, neighbor and drinking buddy of Ivan Budko — Dmitry Bukhankin, who is called Mitya. In this season in-laws begin to get along. Together they have to lead a healthy lifestyle: do not drink, do not smoke and do not eat after 18:00. Ivan is fired from his job, but soon he returns to the bakery and becomes the manager of the garage.
=== ''Svaty 4'' (2010) ===
The action takes place one year after the events of the third season, and again in the summer. The in-laws leave for Turkey to visit their children and grandchildren. Zhenya's parents send her to the children's camp "[[Artek (camp)|Artek]]". The grandparents go to [[Crimea]], not so much to rest as to take care of their beloved granddaughter Zhenya. Grandparents never learn to live without a granddaughter; it is difficult for them to get along with each other. By happy circumstance they get a house, which they turn into a hotel, in order to show their gratitude for finding temporary housing all the money they have earned to Masha and Maxim. Olga and Yuri try to hide from all their divorce, but soon everyone learns about it, including Olga's parents.
=== ''Novogodniye Svaty'' (2010) ===
The main characters Ivan and Valentina decide to celebrate [[New Year]] very modestly, without Christmas trees and festive delicacies, in the native village of Kuchugury. But, their city in-laws come — Yuri and Olga Kovalev with Zhenya, their granddaughter. And the celebrities who are going to corporate parties become stuck in the village because of heavy snowfall and drifts on the roads. The hotel does not have enough space, and in-laws, experienced in this business, offer their services.
=== ''Svaty 5'' (2011) ===
Since the last events eight years have passed. The young Kovalevs — Maxim and Masha — all this time have lived in the Netherlands. But now they decide to return to their homeland. The grandparents (Yuri Anatolyevich Kovalev died three years ago before the events of the film from a heart attack) look forward to meeting with their grandchildren, but none of them expected to see a cheerful, fervent and sweet little Zhenechka in a new goth style with a bunch of problems and conflicts. But this is only part of the trouble for the grandparents. After all, there are also twins — Nikita and Vika, who turn out to be so modern and prudent that the black clothes and "black" humor of their older sister will be insignificant in comparison with their antics. For the whole summer, the three grandchildren get into the society of the spouses Budko and Olga Kovaleva. Alexander Berkovich tries to win Olga's heart, and over time he succeeds. Zhenya finds a girlfriend who steals her boyfriend. Valentine has learned to drive a car and organized a food business, which she leads with Larissa and Evgeny Zhuk.
=== ''Svaty 6'' (2012) ===
The story takes place six months after the events described in ''Svaty 5''. In season 6, the plot covers almost the entire year, from March until the New Year. During this time in the life of the main characters a lot happens. The grandparents continue to re-educate the negligent twins and help solve problems to Genet. Olga Nikolaevna and Alexander Berkovich officially formulate their relations and marry.  Ivan Budko takes up business, saves the country from bureaucracy, goes to work, is poisoned with mushrooms and celebrates an anniversary. Zhenya finishes school, goes to college to become a famous  and meets her love of her life, an artist also named Zhenya. Zhenya's best friend and Alexander Berkovich's daughter, Katya Berkovich finds her true love Luaha and starts college along with Zhenya and starts off into many adventures. Nikita and Vika, Zhenya's younger twin siblings, start to become more mature but still causing mischief and having fun still.  Larissa gives birth to a girl, and Mitya becomes a father for the third time (he already has two sons, an adult son Andrei from his first marriage, who lives separately, and a young Artem, their son and Larissa). The Budko family remains without a roof over their heads, and the mother-in-law comes to Bukhankin. In-laws go to Euro-2012, a cruise along the Volga, a hike and the Carpathians, where they celebrate the New Year.
=== ''Svaty 7'' (2021) ===
Again many years being passed, and new stories beginning! Beloved granddaughter Zhenya has grown up and is going to marry a British man (Jack), and restless grandparents will help her make the right choice. This time the family are in their repertoire: a vacation in Belarus will result in a loud international scandal, harmless trip to Georgia will turn into a series of incredible events, and even a trip to the 19th century will become family troubles. This is a comedy, and a drama, and a musical, and an action movie, and poetry, and prose, and, of course, love, that is, all life - in all its diversity.
==Production==
In 2008, a two-part TV movie ''Svaty'' was shot in Kyiv. The project was not originally intended to continue, but after its success on television, it was extended for the second season (which was also filmed in a telefilm format), and then for subsequent seasons (shot in mini-series).
''Svaty 6'' was to be the final season.<ref>[http://www.vokrug.tv/article/show/Svaty-6_stanut_poslednimi_36579/ «Сваты-6» станут последними] 8 December 2012</ref><ref>[http://kp.ua/kptv/386530-anna-koshmal-rasskazala-budet-ly-prodolzhenye-svatov Анна Кошмал рассказала, будет ли продолжение «Сватов»] // [[Комсомольская правда]], 28 March 2013</ref> However, later the creators of the series said that it was possible to continue the series until the seventh season.<ref>[http://www.vokrug.tv/article/show/Svaty_-_6_sedmoi_sezon_budet_39792/ «Сваты-6»: седьмой сезон будет] 25 сентября 2013</ref> Shooting of ''Svaty 7'' was to begin in 2014, but because of the political situation in Ukraine it was postponed.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waJE7Bug1O8 Фёдор Добронравов. Про Украину и Крым]</ref> In May 2015, [[Volodymyr Zelensky]]y said that the scenario of the seventh season had already been written, but the shooting was still postponed. One of the reasons for this was the disagreement within the film crew: Zelenskyy, like the whole studio "Kvartal-95", supported the Ukrainian government's side in the matter of the Crimea and the armed conflict in the Donbass, while Russian actors, including [[Tatyana Kravchenko]] (born in Donetsk) and [[Fyodor Dobronravov]], adhere to other views.<ref>[http://bloknot.ru/kul-tura/vojna-zastavila-zelenskogo-zamorozit-s-emki-seriala-svaty-7-226442.html Война заставила Зеленского заморозить съёмки сериала «Сваты-7»] 17 мая 2015</ref><ref>[http://kp.ua/culture/525899-fedor-dobronravov-yz-svatov-my-ne-ukhodyly-seryal-ne-zakryt Федор Добронравов: Из «Сватов» мы не уходили — сериал не закрыт!] [[Komsomolskaya Pravda]], 13 January 2016</ref> In addition, Fyodor Dobronravov, Lyudmila Artemyeva and Nikolay Dobrynin do not have the right to enter the territory of Ukraine.<ref name="Добрынин">[http://www.tambov.kp.ru/daily/26627.3/3646159/ Николай Добрынин: «Сватов-7» могут снять в Белоруссии"] [[Комсомольская правда]], 9 January 2017</ref>
