Chalk circle of Alexander Dunaev

The book is dedicated to Alexander Leonidovich Dunaev, theater director, who headed the Central Theater of the Soviet Army in different years, the Moscow Drama Theater named after N.V. Gogol, Moscow Drama Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, Moscow Theater "Hermitage". His creative biography unfolded against the backdrop of an interesting period in the history of the Soviet theater- the 1950s- 1980s. This time, missed through a variety of ideological filters, is represented in the writings of theatrical critics. The reliable picture of the life of the Soviet theater of this time has yet to be written by historians based on facts and documents. But the archives of some Moscow theaters are still closed, and many documents from them, as from the Moscow Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, disappeared. Based on the facts, archival documents, stories of actors, directors, playwrights, theater figures, the book recreates the complex image of the artist and the time that formed it.
For practitioners and theorists of the theater, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in the history of the culture of our country.
