December 11 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn (1918 - 2008). With the name of this outstanding writer, playwright and public figure, the Maly Theatre is linked by the staging of his play «The Feast of the Victors» (1995, directed by Boris Morozov). This performance was released in the year of the 50th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and became a noticeable milestone in the history of our theatre.

November 17 marked the 230th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian artist, who raised the status of the actor and standards of acting and whose name is inseparable from the Maly Theatre, Mikhail Semyonovich Shchepkin(1788 - 1863). He is often described as Russia's greatest ever character actor, "the father of realism", who fought against the artificial, declamatory style.
