Dear friends,

On May 18, the Memorial Apartment of A.I. Sumbatov-Yuzhin took part in the annual “Night of Museums”. This time the artists of the Maly Theatre, Lyubov Eshchenko, Stanislav Soshnikov, and Alexander Naumov, together with the head of the memorial apartment, Vera Tarasova, and our dear guests, read Alexander Ivanovich Sumbatov’s play The Gentleman.

Thank you all for being part of this special event and for the pleasure of communication!

For the second year in a row the memorial apartment of Alexander Ivanovich Sumbatov-Yuzhin takes part in the traditional All-Russian action "Night at the Museum". Last year, young artists of the Maly Theatre Stanislav Soshnikov and Alexander Naumov read the satires written by Vlas Doroshevich about the artist Yuzhin and the Maly Theatre.

Last Saturday, on May 19, the guests could "walk" through the streets of old Moscow: they went down to the Neglinka River, went to the Testov's pub, treated themselves to the famous rolls with raisins in the Filippov bakery, visited the artful barbers... Artists of the Maly Theatre talked about Moscow, described by V. A. Gilyarovsky, the one that existed at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, when Alexander Ivanovich Sumbatov-Yuzhin moved and changed several apartments before settling on Bolshoy Palashevsky pereulok, 5/1.

In the meantime we are planning to continue the tradition of evenings with the stories about Moscow's past. Stay with us!
