“They Preserve So Much that is Dear,” Galina Yevtushenko's documentary film about Nikolai Erdman and Angelina Stepanova, will air on the Culture Channel on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 11 p.m.

1C and Vox Records are completing work on the latest in their series of audio books, a version of Nikolai Gogol's novel “Dead Souls.“ Oksana Mysina recorded the voice of the extravagant „A Woman who is pleasant in every aspect.” Other actors included Vasily Bochkaryov, Dmitry Nazarov and Olga Vasilyeva.

We are stunned by the news of the death of our friend, the talented playwright Alexei Kazantsev. He was a man of culture, an extraordinarily charming individual and a romantic. Alexei Nikolaevich was a tireless generator of change in the field of contemporary drama and directing of recent decades. His Playwright and Director Center was a true center of experiment and research for new ideas and trends in the theater arts.
He attracted the young and it was Kazantsev who succeeded in bringing about the long-awaited explosion of new talent among playwrights and directors. We dearly loved Alexei and we will always remember him!
