Москва закулисная. Тайны. Мистика. Интриги

The book by Marina Raikina, a journalist for the popular newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets, is motley, full of surprises, contradictions and paradoxes - just as the world of theatrical backstage, the main scene of action, is full of them. Serious interviews coexist here with intimate conversations, theatrical tales - with genuine tragedies. We hear the voices of our beloved actors, Maria Mironova, Yevgeny Leonov, who have left us... From the rehearsal room of `Lenkom` we get into the fitting room of Vyacheslav Zaitsev, and from there - to the prop shop... We leaf through old theater magazines and listen to the stories of make-up artists, and experienced theatre-goers... The book takes you back to the past and returns to the present, it is full of surprises, contradictions and paradoxes - just like the backstage world, the main scene of action, is full of them. The theater here is without embellishment and in brilliance. The author loves him as much as he does not spare, revealing to us his innermost secrets ... But the main secret of the theater is eternal!
