It is with a heavy heart that everyone at the Oksana Mysina Theatrical Brotherhood encourages the fans of “Kitchen” to pay their respects to the actor Gennady Galkin, who died this weekend. In Maxim Kurochkin's play Gena brilliantly performed the role of the strange, corrupt and hilarious attorney, one of many formidable adversaries that Oksana's Kriemhild had to face. Gena was a gifted actor and a true friend. He will be sorely missed by everyone who ever came into contact with him.
Memorial services begin Tuesday, May 31 at 11 a.m. at the Yermolova Theater.

Olga Mukhina, a good friend of the Oksana Mysina Theatrical Brotherhood, will unveil her new play „Flying” with two performances on June 1 and 2 at the Mayakovsky Theater affiliate at 7 p.m. This is Mukhina's first new play in approximately 7 years and it is the first time she has directed her own work. Olga continues to work on a play titled “L'va,” which she is writing especially for Oksana Mysina.
