Meyerhold. The drama of Red Karabas

The name of Vsevolod Emilievich Meyerhold was famous in the history of the Russian theater. He went from a provincial young man taking the first steps on the stage, to the famous director, embodied in his work of the idea of ​​the Theater October. Meyerhold’s inconvenience for the authorities, the inability to compromise became the reason for the closure of his theater, and then his death in the basements of the Lubyanka. A proud, capricious, conceited genius, a virtuoso director -inventor, a sparkling inventor, an excellent actor, arrogant, hot -tempered, autocratic, sometimes a cynical dictator and an eternal outrage - this is how Vsevolod Meyerhold appears in the new book of cultural scientist Mark Kushnirov
