Oksana Mysina and her rock band Oxy Rocks went into the studio on March 29 to record a song for a tribute album being prepared in honor of Vladimir Mayakovsky. The album, a project of “Zhivoe Radio,“ will be called “A Tribute to Vladimir Mayakovsky” and will consist of songs that various contemporary bands have written based on poems by Mayakovsky. Oxy Rocks will record a piece called „After a Woman” (Za zhenshchinoi). The music was written by the group's bass player Dmitry
Yershov. For more information on the project log onto www.live-radio.ru

Natalia Balashova writes at length about Oksana Mysina's recent performances of Kama Ginkas's “K. I. from'Crime'” in New York in the March 25 issue of Moskovskaya Pravda.

For her performance as the Empress Maria Fyodorovna in Vitaly Melnikov's film “Poor, Poor Pavel,” Oksana Mysina was awarded a «Diploma in Recognition of Achievement in Cinema for the Year 2004» at a ceremony at the House of Cinema on March 20.

Another new review of the New York run of “K. I. from'Crime'” has appeared on the web. Here is what the author Olga Gershenson has to say about Oksana Mysina's performance: «Such acting… demands… mastery. Mysina delivers. She is not just a highly professional actor, she is also an actor of tremendous energy. She carries the entire performance on her shoulders. She works almost completely solo, with no sets, virtually no props, and no music or sound effects (besides naturally occurring ones). Only in the scene of KI's death is there some use of music and the prop of a ladder. The rest is Mysina and her intelligent focused energy.» To read the entire article, log onto
